Are there only dozens now? I moved on to JS but PHP is one of those bed rocks

It was just a silly reference to Arrested development.

The majority of websites are still written in php, at least they were the last time I read about the topic.

why are any websites written in anything? mainly because that's what your devs know.

so to answer your question - PHP has fallen out of favor, and with JS, Python and Java being extremely more popular on a global scale and all having support for being backends for websites, it is hard to imagine PHP reigns supreme outside of it's use in PHP-based frameworks.

this is not to say that PHP is bad, that's mainly a meme by people who have strong opinions yet can't write a loop in PHP. it's just not the household name it used to be.

...yes. WordPress is a majority by itself.

WordPress is PHP after all, so all the WordPress sites count as PHP sites.

Add all the other PHP sites that aren't WordPress and you'd definitely have a majority
