Imho, while i agree on the marketing side of the problem, there is one more, and probably, worst problem: at $JOB, every single PHP you're going to find has to be treated as legacy, no shiny stuff, no proper sane way to work with it, incosistent envs unless you're lucky enough to have a dockerfile and some scripting that can do the heavy lift for you.

All of this for the second lowest wage after JS devs. Not worth it.

I'm using Go and i'll never go back in the immediate future: go run . and i have all of it. Period.

PHP should strive for something like this.
