PHP is underappreciated, especially recent PHP. Null coalescing operators! Actually typed variables that produce an error if you pass the wrong type! It's superior to Python despite it's mid-2000s-spaghetti-college-kid-developer reputation.
Hell, I may get downvoted for this, but I honestly believe PHP's Doctrine is superior to Java/Kotlin's Hibernate. Symfony and Spring are almost equally good in terms of functionality, though PHP is quite a lot slower, sadly.
Nice, sounds like it's getting modernized. I'll have to give it another round, thanks!
Genuinely curious, how is it superior to Python in your opinion?
Edit: Apart from the things you listed 😅
It can run natively on an Apache server without any frameworks required to render user website markup and serve pages. That's a pretty awesome advantage.
