Facebook poured loads of money/time into HHVM. While I'm sure PHP also got benefits, your "Otherwise it would probably on life-support right now. " argument fits perfectly on the rest of the biased unsupported arguments.


I used PHP in v4/5 times and had the impression development slowed down until I heard about all the "FB being bullish on PHP" announcements.


php 7.0 has been released 5 years ago, I think it's about time to stop using php5 as an argument for anything related to the present state.


I'm not saying PHP is doing bad today.

I'm saying that back in the days it looked like it will go downhill, but then a big player used it and that saved it.
