PHP: PHP 8.4.23 Release Announcement

What? PHP is still alive?
I don’t believe that! I read somewhere, 10 years ago, that PHP would be dead like any minute now? So, so many “PHP killers” out there!

Good to see the PHP team keeping up with security patches consistently. For anyone running 8.4 in production, this is a must-upgrade. The ChangeLog is worth a read to understand exactly what was patched.

PHP isn’t dying—it’s just entering its COBOL era: too deeply embedded in the web’s backbone to ever truly disappear, and quietly getting better while everyone’s busy clowning on it.
