Since 7.0, PHP is rapidly removing dodgy bits.

It will never be Rust or Haskell, but modern versions make it a very acceptable language for web backends.

One aspect which is underestimated by developers is "can you hire a team for it?"

Ask one recruiter to hire 10 PHP developers, and another one to hire 10 Scala devs — guess which team is up and running first?
