PHP is far from my primary language, but in no universe is the language that powers so so much of the internet "small".

Website traffic to servers running the language is not necessarily correlated with the size of the community

whats your metric for a large community? internet traffic? github projects? number public repos? number of packages? by every metric i can think of php is has a large community, not as large as java or python but still large.

how twisted does your dislike of a language have to be for you to not even acknowledge that a lot of people use it

github stars and volume of left-pad clone repos
