The thing is... VB, PHP, and JS have all enabled an incredible amount of creations that never would've happened without them. It's honestly hard to imagine where we'd be without these ecosystems, and the casual slapping things together that these enable.

True, but I've also seen millions of dollars flushed down the toilet on failed projects. The culture around these languages have been the primary reason for many of these failures. I've seen millions more wasted on workarounds and attempts to fix the spaghetti code they contain.
So while the world has some cool stuff that it might not otherwise I'm not sure the world is better off for it.
