To quote Bane. I was born in it, molded by it. Oh well, not really but it definitely was the first language I got really proficient in (after Perl). I still grab it out of my toolbox when I need to hack something together quick or demo a concept. I mean, it even has a webserver built-in for for that purpose!
But to be a bit more serious, PHP is going to be around for a -long- time. Some of the webs most successful projects like WordPress aren't going anywhere any time soon. Plus it's actually developed in to a pretty decent language over the years. I remember starting out on version 3 and oh boy did it suck. But coming from Perl it was actually a breath of fresh air.

The need of a server software to parse the php code.... dont you think makes it cumbersome as compared to javascript, golang, etc
