Presumably it makes sense to sunset PHP especially with how cheap code migrations are nowadays.
What's easier, maintaining PHP or migrating/breaking every single PHP-based site?
And who's to say whatever sites are migrated to won't be "sunsetted" in a few decades too?
Seems like a no-brainer to maintain it.
How cheap are code migrations nowadays? Vibe-migrations, you mean?
Sounds like you’ve been snorting too much iron oxide.
I agree a lot of PHP applications can be ported to other tools, but that only covers that much. Just look at banks and COBOL code.
migrating to what? just take a look at the newest CVEs, https://www.tenable.com/cve/newest , and you will see that no technology is spared by high or critical reports.
Beating the dead horse, as you are: the Bun Rust migration cost millions of dollars in tokens and took an additional 3.5 months of labor after the widely-marketed "11-day rewrite" before being shipped as a release, and in the process introduced hundreds of new issues.
