Nowadays, Everywhere I go I hear the name "python" to where some people call it the the king on this web but they should keep in mind who the boss is. In my point of view I think we should treat the language as powerful according to the projects we are working on or The our development areas instead of considering things in general.
In programming itself, When it comes to compare Python and Php, I think Python can do more such as making real-life apps, scientific apps, and such. But When It comes to web I think Php can do more on the server than Python's powerful frameworks like Django.
Consider this->
Old school Developers: Most of them, Their first choice is Php even though They can shift to Python.
New School Developers: Most of Them, They are coming with Python, as an easy and powerful programming language nowadays.
NB: This is my personal opinions, About These two programming languages (P & P)
But I recommend both to everyone who consider going deeply in Web development.
How Do you feel, Devs?

Your opinions are opinions, but stats say otherwise
You can't compare general "interest" to "usefulness in web dev". Same with stats, you cant use these stats to argue for either language. Example, most websites use php probably bacause of the "old" trend of Wordpress going around in 2010s where everybody could make their own website. Or the trend of React that started to "change" the web, even though many frameworks followed and did it better, most people still use React. I personally prefer a node backend but still work with python and php in backends for work. Buuut, here take my stats that clearly shows most backends still depend on php. (Yeah I know im a bit late to the party 😂)
Yeah Actually, That's my opinions, I highly respect Python tho!
What about good old nodejs?
I don't get you well, But I think Node.js comes in Those big 5 Languages which are currently and mostly used in web development (especially back-end user) as a JavaScript's Framework. But I'm still learning it!
Yeah, That's great fact, #Sebastian And almost every web developer knows about Php but, Not Python. But when it comes to CMS, The world listens!
