Well now you got a bunch of alternatives : Asp.net on linux, Go, Elixir, Python, Ruby,Java ... PHP kinda saved itself when it got Java like classes(which are fairly rigid thus allowed retrofitting "type safety" in PHP) which allowed engineers to write large and maintainable codebases (Symfony,Doctrine...). So again, no need to complain, go see your manager and try to convince him to try an alternative solution. Of course if you're using a CMS like Worpdress or Magento it might be a bit more complicated to migrate. But for projects started from scratch frankly, an engineer that can write a Symfony/Doctrine app can easily switch to Asp.net, it's exactly the same level of complexity.

I wouldn't say it is. In asp.net, language is better engineered and will get in your way less often: https://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/ https://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/

  ASP ? dude really ? PHP get in your way only when your starting. You never make these "bad language mistakes" once you're experimented. And then you can write really clean code. ASP, however, makes me vomit everytime I read a single line. COBOL is more readable !

    C# (the most commonly used ASP.Net language) is one of the best designed mainstream languages out there. I'm not a fan of any of the ASP.Net web frameworks, but the language itself is great.

    asp.net =/= asp "classic".

    Are you sure you're not confusing "Classic" ASP with ASP.Net? There's nothing unreadable about .Net.
