Judging from the comments, it looks that many negations stem from the "old PHP". I've been developing with PHP since late 90s. Oh, boy, I've created a lot of bad code during all those years. However, when doing new year's retro, there has not been a single time I would be able to say that PHP has not evolved. As well as my code. Modern PHP might not have all the shiny features other high profile languages have, but it's getting there. It's slower than many would like because of much debt and legacy. But it'll get there. Also, you can write shitty code in any language. I would bet that, if back then python was as easy to deploy, as PHP, we'd now be fighting about that the same way as we are about PHP.
