PHP is more like driving a "restored" late 80's car today still. It ended up doing vastly more than it was designed to.

Don't get me wrong, it's still very useful, but it ends up not being as clean as python or ruby when made for most cases.

But in the end case, it does end up being a product of who is using the language.

It was designed to be a quick and dirty home page language, and still has lots of warts from that.
