Great idea, I hope they also put money to help get orgs out of PHP, Drupal and other dead/terrible software. If not this is a bit depressing and short sighted.

Why would they get out of PHP?

PHP has matured greatly since version 5, especially in terms of performance, and Drupal 8 is a top choice for creating enterprise-level APIs. Neither is dead and Drupal is only "terrible" for beginners.

By most measurements, PHP is used by a majority of sites on the internet. The worst part is how many of those still use PHP 5, which reaches end of life tomorrow...

Yes, if you have an application running on a currently supported platform why would you want to move away from it?

Nginx and Hugo, depending on whether the website really needs that backend database or not.

eg Hugo does static websites, but obviously that doesn't meet the needs of everyone. :)
