I got some downvotes for this, but look at the numbers. I'm not saying it's the best language for eCommerce, but it is the workhorse. It's the old beige cash register in the corner bodega that's still the heart of thousands of businesses. These businesses don't have the margins to replace their Magento or WooCommerce shop, hence the need for pragmatism. If you're thinking about Shopify or AWS this or that you are already thinking about the wrong part of the industry.
