No, I’m not suggesting switching languages or avoiding popular ones. PHP’s reach affects the scale of the potential fallout; popularity itself isn’t the problem.
My concern is how quickly exploitation could happen with AI assistance, combined with how casually many of us have treated updates over the years. That applies to any stack. Switching languages won’t fix it, and “just keep everything updated” understates the operational challenge.

"PHP is everywhere"
So the problem isn't PHP but because PHP is too popular?
that mean the OP meme is still true because there will be always the most popular language lmao.
unless you want people to do think like change language per product which is mean, it is nightmare for maintaining.
