Maybe I'll come off as a youngin' with this one, but PHP. I honestly really enjoy it. There are some quirks and syntax I don't particularly like, but overall, using PHP in a server setting isn't bad at all. I always heard people talk down on it in college, but those people probably never used it either. PHP by day and Rust by night is a nice combo honestly. Pretty different, but it gives some variety.

It used to be a really dodgy language, but I heard it's improved a lot. I've only ever fixed other people's PHP code or written small plugins for wordpress, so I can't give a good opinion, but a few people have told me I should give laravel a go over the years.

One of the common complaints was that a lot of the core library had inconsistent function signatures[1], did they ever fix that? Always seemed to me that it would be an unfixable problem.

I’ve written PHP in the past. Frankly I don’t hate it much more than any other programming language that sees industrial use.
