Not only not dead. It's doing great. I thought I don't really remember such critical issue in PHP runtime ever. And even this might not be as bad as they paint it. https://eliastaylor.com/noexploit/

And another thought is that maybe PHP was just aiming for some publicity, get some attention with guriella marketing :D
