When I look at the most popular programming languages worldwide according to the PYPL Index in November 2023 on statista.com, I see "PHP" in 6th place directly behind "C#" (.net) (5th place) and far ahead of "GO" (12th place) - and that's worldwide. Source: https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/678732/umfrage/beliebteste-programmiersprachen-weltweit-laut-pypl-index/

Why is GO more important to you than PHP? PHP has a very active developer community and has had one for over 25 years. Along with JavaScript and Python, PHP is the most widely used programming language on the Internet. Why are you withdrawing support?

We have been using ArangoDB with PHP since version 3.0 and it works very well. We would like to see a little more love and support for the ArangoDB PHP client. I think many PHP developers feel the same way. An update every 6 months and support for the current PHP 8 and ArangoDB version would be really helpful.

Thank you.
