Shared hosts are still there, and are cheaper and much simpler to use than your average cloud based deployment. Some even support these new hipster programming languages ruby and python.

Sure, but if we're talking about these languages being "socially acceptable" for writing websites, they arrived a bit later to the party than PHP.

Granted, it still happened about a decade and a half ago, so I hoped the sarcasm using the word "new" would come through.

It did ;-) . But I frequently meet devs (young and old) that believe Python, Ruby and others are "new" languages. So I think it's worth mentioning they are not in any way.

Of course age does not equate maturity. Neither social acceptance.
