Is PHP still a relevant language in today's day and age? I know a LOT of languages and it just never occurred to me to learn this one, because anyone I've ever been aware of writing a backend these days would either choose Node or one of several compiled languages. Lemmy uses Rust for it's backend which is highly desireable, many people would have used Golang in the backend world if they desired performance and compilation, otherwise I don't know why you wouldn't just use Typescript. Makes it hard to contribute to IMO.

Don't know why you're getting downvoted; anyone who's ever done a project of some kind (whether or not it's programming-related) knows that anything doing a rebuild/remake/re-anything has a high chance of not happening. xD
