> PHP is a nice language but is having trouble keeping up with modern languages
It's only "having trouble" because it can't change its API from month to month to match whatever's in vogue. A majority of the web still runs on some variant of PHP, and that guarantees that it's not dying anytime soon.
More broadly, it seems the author wants to create a version of PHP that's not focussed on web requests, which is sort of the entire point of PHP.
