You already stated the obvious: PHP and Ruby apps generated far more revenues simply by existing longer.

I also question the revenue claim.

Google has a lot of revenue. Pinterest, Hashicorp, Uber, Twitch, Dropbox, etc. all have a good amount of golang and collectively have a lot of revenue. It might need a few more years to tip the scale, but it's closer than suggested here.

Twitch was initially built with Ruby on Rails as well.

YouTube was initially built with php, so the revenue argument is true.

Was it? What I was told was that Youtube was built in Python and was gradually migrated to C++ after bought by Google.
