Irony, thy name is PHP. Your name means "hypertext pre-processor" and was conceptualized first and foremost to be a web dev language. But you're now often being turned down in the web dev world in favor of general-purpose languages!

The web is used radically differently now than it was 22 years ago in 1995. Also, PHP wasn't designed to be the platform for large code bases maintained by multiple people. It wasn't really designed at all, as its creators have said publicly.
