I congratulate you on your successful projects but I don't understand what you mean by "PHP is C-like and written in C so the hate is funny to me". The language of the runtime is not particularly relevant unless you want to write custom extensions (which I remember being an absolutely atrocious experience back when I had to do in in ~2007, hopefully it improved since then) and the language itself is only very superficially C-like. In fact the most C-like thing I remember about it is that many standard library functions where extremely thin wrappers around the libc, so thin in fact that you could get a segfault if you weren't careful.
