It's time to have the conversation about killing PHP again.

We don't really need it anymore now that we have LLMs.

People love hating on PHP. But Go has CVEs like every week, and people are getting tired of updating it. I don't think there is a fundamental "PHP bad" argument beyond just "hating on it". While Go/Node have grown much more than PHP, PHP is definitely alive.

		Replace it all with Rust. It's a fantastic server language. Nobody needs to write any of this code anymore. Rust is literally the best positioned language to handle the upcoming onslaught of CVEs.

I don't understand why PHP is redundant now that we have llms?

		Not the one you are replying to, but an argument I heard is that 1) It is now much easier to work in a language with better security features such as Rust. Previously, there definitely was some kind of trade-off between accessibility, performance, and security, and some people argue that this is over. I don't know if this is true, but it seems plausible. 2) You can now translate your legacy projects to a different language much more easily. This is definitely true, but that doesn't mean it doesn't introduce new/other problems or that it is easy enough (again, I simply don't know).
