Hi Zeev, Zeev Suraski in php.internals (Sun, 3 Feb 2019 07:05:49 +0000): 2. Most PHP production workloads are on Linux, and as far as I can tell this trend is only growing over the years - with virtual machines and now containers becoming more and more popular - meaning that even developers with other host OSs still use Linux for the actual PHP development. I am not sure this really is the case. Depending on which statistics you believe te be true, about a quarter to a third of the Web is powered by Wordpress. Wordpress market share is not diminishing. How is that related? The vast majority of WordPress is deployed on Linux servers, much (if not most) of it hosted. Do not underestimate the huge amount of Wordpress plugin developers that develop on Windows. Code quality is varying from very low to quite high, but these people are PHP developers as well. Again, how does that relate to what I said? I actually said in some demographics Windows is more common than Linux *for development*. I'm also saying that's slowly changing due to certain tech trends, but it doesn't mean that Windows development isn't still incredibly popular. The thing is, it's mostly orthogonal to JIT - which is a production oriented feature. Zeev
