There are whole books written about how terrible JavaScript is, and yet it is one of the most popular languages today. People have learned to work around the quirks and develop best practices to avoid pitfalls. PHP is an actively developed language. It has its pitfalls and problems, but is also provides more modern ways to use the language that avoid those problems.

> it is one of the most popular languages today Javascript is popular because people have no choice but to use that. Let's be truthfull here. Only a few people actually like this language.If it wasnt for the web nobody would use javascript ,which is totally inconsistent with the strongly typed DOM. Kudos to microsoft as they created DHTML.
