Just curious if Javascript is getting more popular than PHP

There&#x27;s not really any way to know. Because of WordPress, PHP is still by far the most popular back-end language for the web (in terms of raw number of sites running on it).<p>Because JavaScript is the only language that runs in all browsers, it&#x27;s by far the most widely-known language. Anyone who touches the web, which is most developers, tends to have at least a passing knowledge of it.
