Thank you very much.

This needs to be said, and this language cannot be saved.

Some web apps require it still. So that's not an option.

Kind of is though, now that vibe coding actually works and doesn't produce slop. At least if you have $1k or so to burn on Opus 5.5.

Just point Claude at your PHP and ask it to rewrite it in Rust. I know it seemed crazy when Bun did it (and it probably was), but it actually works now. (And please try it before you say "that's what people said 6 months ago" or whatever.)

We use Xenforo, a commercial package. We'd have to rewrite it every time they released an update. That would be quite painful.

I don't quite follow. You'd replace it with an entirely vibe coded version. It looks like a standard phpbb style forum so that would be trivial for Opus 5.5.

How do you keep that vibe coded app up to date with all new discovered vulnerabilities, library dependency updates, and upstream OS changes?
