There seems to be a common thread that languages that are easy to pick up (not necessary "learn") are also harder to make use of to build something once your skill level has gone up a bit.
So PHP, easy to pick up, but once you grok it, you usually move to something else, then you just remember PHP as the language when you were a beginner, and therefore you look down on it.
Seeing the same with BASIC or other more, basic languages.

There's also a line of thinking that some languages (like Python) are both a great beginner language and simultaneously a bedrock language that should be a first choice for many advanced/complex problem spaces as well.
