I wouldn't trust opinion of practitioners. Not after they have chosen javascript and, God forbid, PHP. Practitioners choose not what is inherently good, but what is popular. It is a very practical choice that brings a lot of benefits, so it is just practitioners being practitioners. It can be good or bad, I don't care now, it doesn't matter for my argument. The issue that a good thing can be overlooked by practitioners for decades, because there is nothing popular giving them this thing.
