is server side javascript going to replace PHP?

Today, i read this news, it is from twitter: "Douglas Crockford says Yahoo is the biggest PHP factory in the world, and is looking to replace it with Node.js (Server-Side JavaScript)".

Wow, if that is true, that is really exciting. I don't want to compare javascript with PHP from language point of view. I just simply believe that if we can use one language on both frontend and backend, the world of web will become better. I express this feeling in one of my blog: http://hengrui-li.blogspot.com/2011/05/server-side-javascript-when-will-you.html

Although i don't think things can go quickly and easily, i would like to believe this can come true one day. Sometimes, what you need is just a simple belief and hold it.
