I’m not offended, I have no investment in those languages, or any language. I just don’t agree. PHP is easy for beginners because of the tooling, or lack of. As you wrote you can just put PHP files in the right folder and there’s your “Hello, world” web page. The language itself is no less capable and sophisticated than any other C-family language, and PHP’s huge (and inconsistent) standard library goes a long way. But getting a demo or tutorial page up is not software development. You have to write actual code to make even a simple CRUD app, plus understand something about databases. It’s not low code. You can maybe learn JS in the browser console but that’s not developing anything useful. To run JS on the server you need node and npm and the skills to get that all working. Not low code either. These are low bar to entry languages/ecosystems but they are not low code/no code solutions.
