You already stated the obvious: PHP and Ruby apps generated far more revenues simply by existing longer.
- phamilton 3y agoI 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.

- fiedzia 3y agoand Dropbox with Python
- rafark 3y agoYouTube was initially built with php, so the revenue argument is true.
