>Why can't PHP just die?
because it's being used by a lot of people, because it predates everything in your list
try asking the banks why they still use COBOL

It is purpose built for the web, Node.js is garbage and ASP.NET is even worse garbage, the rest are general purpose languages.

In my country (third-world), this garbage sells like hot shit because everyone is too poor to buy vps and has to go with a shared hosting, so php or mainly wordpress, is their only option.

shared hosting is great for small business though, I would rather get a cpanel instance with PHP, mysql and e-mail then forget about it than to set up everything from scratch on a vps and have to worry about updates and shit.

They're both faster than PHP, and PHP is a horrible language.

Pajeets seething lol

>They're both faster than PHP
no, node.js performance is make believe and any advantage ASP.NET may have over PHP is lost on the microsoft web stack, nevermind the clusterfuck that is the ASP.NET and C# syntax, I rather built a website in lisp.

None of the purpose-built web features in the language are worth using, though.
