What I love about PHP is its learning curve. You can quickly start making things. I started two decades ago with dirty PHP mixed with HTML pages, then I learned templating. Then I learned OOP, classes, interfaces, abstract classes, traits, managing dependencies and unit tests. All of these with PHP, no framework. Because PHP is quite easy to use, I learned all these "general" principles thanks to it. I guess nostalgia plays a big part in my appreciation of this language but I will just say one thing: thank you PHP!
