Here is a quick link to an article talking about it. Looks interesting.

comparing Go with a language like PHP is completely unfair, as they deal with entirely different areas. PHP is a scripting languages meant almost exclusively for creating web frameworks and applications, whereas Go is meant to be a systems programming language. Any popularity Go gains will have little to no effect on PHP, ASP, python, and ruby, as it is a compiled language meant for real programs, not a scripting language for high access web services.

I know Go has no affect on PHP. But I'm just asking how long will PHP last ?
