Dude, don't hate yourself, and don't define yourself as a $LANG developer, if you want to learn new languages, do so. Learn the basics start a small project, try them out.
If you really insist on limiting yourself to a single language, PHP is just fine, big market, not going out of business anytime soon, lil ugly, sure, but pays your bills and has the great advantage of you already knowing it. Do not jump ship based on hype, try stuff out, see if it's actually better.
Also, you don't need to learn python, you already know how to program. You can probably just start writing python code and just use google if you get stuck, start with python3 tho, saves you some trouble.
I've developed my first php website when I was around 12, worked with it for many years, tried out lots of different languages and my conclusion is php has some unique advantages. It's not my go-to language, but I wouldn't mind using it.
About rust, I'm not really into low level stuff so it's one language I haven't tried out yet, but by all means, try it out, will only make you a better programmer, just don't marry it before the first date (:
