I’m just gonna go out on a limb and ruffle some feathers and say it’s node.js
Well, that’s a runtime. But yes, JavaScript.
PHP has more $s in it than spez’s eyes
People sure like to dunk on PHP. I’ll take whatever flak for this, but this is the kind of meme a .NET fanboy or Ruby on Rails bro would make when they haven’t touched any languages other then their prescious, and don’t know wtf they’re talking about.
PHP, after all these years, is STILL running 78% of all sites. That’s not because it’s garbage or the worst. It’s solid, reliable, mature and very well documented. And I say this as someone who has gladly moved to Python, but also work in in others.
Popularity doesn’t necessarily imply good. For example, we used to put lead in all the gasoline.
PHP was the first language I did any significant coding in. I will never use it again if I can at all avoid it.

I came into this thread ready to defend the honor of Lisp.
WordPress has made me the Python developer I am today.
Yes, but WordPress !== PHP. It’s one of the worst examples of what PHP can look like and they resolutely refuse to adopt modern standards or improve in any way. They still use SVN too. Bunch of backwards troglodytes.
Yuuuuup. PHP is the worst.
Pretty sure brain fuck should be on this list.
The point of “esoteric” programming languages like Brainfuck or Befunge is to be a source of puzzles for people who enjoy that kind of puzzle. They’re not “bad programming languages” any more than an escape room is a “bad apartment”.
Solid analogy
