Comment:

 Popularity of a programming language amongst programmers is not a good
 indicator. Actual usage is. And PHP is still way ahead of everything and
 anything else by miles:
 https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/programming_language

 Rewriting the PHP to JS would be a huge breaking change and would break
 most of the plugin/theme/tooling infrastructure around WordPress.

 Aside from that it would require a huge effort, with the associated costs
 around that and is likely to re-open the platform to lots of security
 issues which had previously already been fixed.

 Suggest: close.
