Looks a lot less dated than the other one so good job on that front.

Not sure if anyone working on the design / copy is reading this, but I'm wondering why they felt compelled to add "popular" to "PHP is a popular general-purpose scripting language [...]".

Should people use or be interested in PHP because it's popular? How is this a differentiating feature worth mentioning in the first sentence introducing PHP? (Genuine question, I'm not saying it's wrong for them to call it so)

Also, titling a section "PECL + PEAR" is useless if you don't already know what they are. Why not call it "Extensions & Libraries" or something similarly descriptive and let the acronyms be introduced in the description?

If you think about it, PHP's biggest strenght is its ecosystem right now, which comes from popularity.

I really agree on the "Extensions & Libraries" bit. PEAR should not be linked there, it is outdated, filled with really bad pieces of code, and generally not useful at all.

They should really focus on a central library repository, they are alternative out there, but having PHP.net pushing for one (i don't really trust them for creating one) would do a lot of good to the language.

My company does some developments in PHP precisely because it's popular, and nothing else. For everything we don't expect our customers to want to modify by themselves, we use various languages but certainly not PHP.
