On the contrary. No other language is perfect, so if you can only think of perfect you would keep using PHP; it's only if you recognise the idea that a language can be better while still being imperfect that you can switch to a better language.
The EVM has been formalized in theorem provers [1], so they're already taking that threat seriously. One threat also mentioned in the above thread that is often overlooked are full abstraction failures, ie. exploitable mismatches between high level language constructs and the machine code to which it gets compiled.
