>As a PHP developer , i'm betting on Python and NodeJS for the future, i dont believe PHP has any real future outside a bunch of popular CMSe

Same here, having done very large php projects in the past, nowadays I tend to go for python (or more recently node) unless the client requests it.

One thing I foresee being a good niche in the future is updating/fixing legacy php apps. There's just too many man hours into them. It will be the COBOL of the web centric future.
