According to metric information at (https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/pl-php), about 80% of the known public internet where we know the back-end language uses PHP. About 25% of the internet is WordPress. So... ~55% of the internet is PHP non-WordPress. These aren't the best numbers but try to disprove them.

The where we know the backend language qualifier is doing a lot of work there. According to those statistics Scala is ahead of Javascript, Python is at 1% and behind both.

I'm not sure I have a better idea on how to measure that, but the numbers don't really add up...
