Which programming language, created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994, became the dominant server-side language powering early dynamic websites?

💡 Did you know?
PHP was originally two scripts Lerdorf wrote to track who was reading his online résumé — he never intended it to become a programming language at all.
