PHP’s demise: greatly exaggerated - Marco Tabini:

"One thing that I can, however, do, is offer the personal perspective of someone who runs a business whose fortunes are, essentially, linked to PHP—and when I say linked to PHP, I really mean it—unlike a development shop, which can use PHP, anything we do here at MTA revolves around PHP. Without PHP, there would be no php|architect, none of our books would have reason to exist, and our training would be about as successful as Microsoft Bob."
