PHP was never really dead. Release rates in 5.x and 7.x are about the same time lengths. What changed, however, was that HHVM by Facebook put pressure on PHP to optimize for performance. FB created a 10x faster PHP interpreter with HHVM, proving it was possible. PHP stepped up, and then did the same.
