Disagree. Indian here, working at pure PHP projects at Razorpay.
>1. Performance
HHVM, PHP 7
>2. Not moving upto pace to match the other languages
PHP 7
>3. Undervalued language in the industry
>4. Not used in bigger projects or companies
Etsy, Facebook, Wordpress, Wikipedia.
>5. Poor pay scales
This is where it gets interesting. To get better salaries in PHP, you need to be working at better places. Good companies are willing to pay good money for good php developers. It's just harder to find because of the large number of beginner PHP devs in the market.
>6. Third party tools needed to scale it up
True for Ruby, Python, and most other web languages.
