It wasn't my intention, I'm sorry if my comment came off as nit-picky. I wasn't trying to misconstrue your comment, I genuinely did not get your argument (I think I now get it, thanks to your reply).
The statement I made is that more consistent and "opinionated" languages encourage better code. They don't enforce it, just encourage it.
It is my opinion that this is valuable.
I did define "good", internally consistent languages with strong guidelines for developers. I made no statements about mature PHP codebases as they are irrelevant to my argument. I do accept that people prefer less "opinionated" languages, I too fall into this camp, but I am no longer a new developer, as such this point is entirely irrelevant to what I was saying.
