That’s not necessarily true. I learned BASIC and C/C++ first, then Java, then six years of .NET, but almost only used PHP for the last decade because that’s just what’s used in the market I work in (e.g. content managed websites). People are going to use what makes them money, and what makes the most sense for the project. Thankfully when using the right frameworks modern PHP feels more like a real OO language instead of the clusterfuck it used to be.
