Subject: PHP lifespan


Hi,  I do not want to start any flame wars.  I would like to open a discussion though.

I was thinking of what the life span of PHP might be.  I have lived through a number of them.

In the early 80's COBOL was still taught and was in use.  I know it is still around, however I do not think anyone would choose COBOL for a new project. 

I also lived through the whole dBase, Clipper, FoxBase+, and Visual FoxPro cycle.  FoxPro was acquired by M$ 15 or 18 years ago, which started it's slow decline.  M$ finally killed it last year.

So I am wondering about PHP.  What might it's lifespan be?  What might be the next big thing... etc.

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.
