Everyone in this thread: PHP sucks because it was bad when I last used it 20 years ago.
I mean it does suck, but it sucks less than anything else we have.
Nah, i'd say java has been better than PHP overall
That's also 30 years old, old man!
A language usually doesn't become worse with time, at least if the devs do a good job at improving it.
There are cases of new languages that looked better but didn't become mainstream because the ecosystem requires time to grow (and adoption, which creates a vicious cycle because adoption requires ecosystem to already be there)
