Haxe

> Probably needs some new languages with slightly different syntax I used to toy around with Haxe: https://haxe.org/ The idea in principle is great (use Haxe the language on your machine, then Haxe the compiler to produce PHP code and upload it to a cheap hosting somewhere), but I've never found a real use for it.

There are a lot of WordPress sites. The same site reporting the metrics on PHP also points out that WordPress is 42.5% of all sites [1]. That being said, I know a fair number of PHP developers. None of them are in SV or Seattle. They are in cities many have not heard of. They're all over. Some do public sites. Some do company internal web apps. Take a project like Symfony, a PHP framework. It's popular but not the most popular. Now, take a look at the download stats for its packages [2]. They are large. There is software development happening all over the world. A bunch of it is in PHP. [1] https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cm-wordpress [2] https://packagist.org/?query=symfony.

WordPress.com

42% of all <i>websites</i> run on the same thing: Wordpress.[a] The vast majority of those websites use vanilla WordPress to serve a tiny audience. If you look at market share by <i>traffic</i>, approximately 0.0% of the world's largest web sites((Wikipedia, YouTube, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, eBay, etc.) run on WordPress, let alone PHP. Those websites account for the vast majority of Internet traffic. [a] Source: https://wordpress.com.
