Why wouldn’t it?

#4I wonder how much the results of this are skewed because PHP reports via the server response header that it is being used. Other languages like Elixir, Go, etc aren't so public about their usage unless one of their web frameworks adds it.
I'd also love to see a study like this instead focused on "How much of the active web is wordpress?" and "How much of the inactive web is wordpress?".

#5I'm curious how this changes if you remove PHP being used for WordPress (where the people using it probably didn't choose it). Do lots of companies still choose PHP for brand new projects? I know Facebook has a dialect they still use, but you don't hear much about it anymore.

Wordpress is just a content management system built on top of php. It would be silly not to include everything that is built in php. Most php developers do not code in raw php (when avoidable). Most modern websites that are custom built tend to be a php framework.

PHP is my bread and butter. Yes there are still shops that use it. It doesn't really deserve the bad rap.

I'm sure it does, but that then mostly changes the meaning of "most used...language" to mean most used by end users, versus most used by developers.
Which I suppose you could argue, since it's likely passing through apache/nginx, which is fronting wordpress. So maybe 'C' is the most used.

#10No, I’m pretty sure it’s C.
Your PHP code is nice and all, but nothing happens with it until C does its thing.
