> Is there anything that PHP is developing or adopting that can not be had at other established languages?

I feel like I can ask that question about most established languages and get the same answer back. It still has the easiest deployment and development flow of any language I've ever used. I don't know of a single language that does that right now, and makes going from 0 to 100% much easier, which for smaller pet projects, it's so much less hassle. Upload file, it's running on the web. That's it.

As for all the features it has that other languages have, PHP tends to merge them together. While this means the language is larger than most, it also means I can do things in ways I want to and try new features out.

This doesn't mean I'm not using JS or Go or Java or other languages. But if I'm building a web API, PHP is the one that gets out of my way and lets me build it quickly and easily.
