Java is killing itself at a rate of 6 months. They removed javapackager, which means the official tool to build releases is missing from the LTS version. The EE ecosystem is collapsing thanks to Oracle opposing the Eclipse Foundation, making the quest to build enterprise applications challenging due to namespace collisions and overrides, because of modularisation. PHP is on this aspect still strong and you can still choose your weapon of choice to build whatever you want and not being hostage of a company. The only missing part is a good private composer repository for companies who don't release source code.

It looks like Packagist has a private commercial offering: https://packagist.com/ https://packagist.com/ And it even looks like the code for Packagist.org is open source, although not meant for self-hosting as there is no docs, support or BC compatibility guarantee: https://github.com/composer/packagist https://github.com/composer/packagist
