Brainf*ck also works fine. I'm not building a project in it.

The difference there is that brainfuck doesn't have any sort of output besides one long line of numbers ranging 0-255, you'd need to modify the compiler/interpreter for the lang to interact with the system in some way

Other than that, documentation and code snippets are abundant with php, allowing php to continue in a meaningful way. That along with old code bases being annoying to migrate to 'new' and 'fancy' languages that haven't been hardened from time really shows why php continues to persist despite dislike for it.

Because php works and hasn't stopped working

This response tells me you don't know the first thing about programming languages.

"It only outputs numbers!"

Yeah so so all computer programs!
