The problem is larger, i am a new software engineer, but i can observe that almost everyone prefer to code in easier language. I always hear people say "This language is stable, have good performance, easy to code...)" for languages like NodeJS or frameworks like Angular, but they have right only for the last argument, because languages like PHP or C++ in the software world (in opposition of JAVA) are harder to learn and you have to think about your future application, his maintenance and optimization before starting to code anything. But if you master in theses "hard" languages, you will have the same, or even better performance (than mastering in easy frameworks) and better maintainability.

The real problem is that people think too much about the code, and forget the most important : the software engineering.
