PHP is and will always be the choice of script kiddies and freelances looking for a quick small buck. Because it suits and is made by that niche, copy-pasted "solutions" and monkey-ing others, just as the latest versions of PHP try to monkey other language and framework thinking, shows a profound character of its community, monkey-patches thrown together to look like some thought was put into it. It is not the language of the future, its not where inventions happen. Its still the same old to its core, pieces cobbled together to look like something it isnt, trying to hide the inconsistencies in its core.
