We can objectively talk about whether a language is suited to the use it is being put to.

Can we? Expectations around what a language can do are dymanic.

I saw something really cool on the weekend. PHP on the client side as a compiled wasm. This allows someone to go severless and run a cms in the client.

That's a new use for an existing language.. is it suitable for everything? Not until it is.
