i dont think so php is finally fast, has a lot of features, can run in shell without timing out, etc.<p>and i would say be careful because when things are perfect they tend to get deprecated because people stop working on them. (not necassirly perfect but close). good examples of this currently are lisp, java and php, (and systemd, wayland&#x2F;mir, ssl, pgp, etc?). while they replace it with technology with more bugs and less features, so be careful (cough cough nodejs and tls).<p>of course your title was sarcastic. long live php :&gt;
