I've written large, important things in C++, Kotlin, Scala, Java, Go, Javascript, PHP, etc... PHP in 2017 is great. PHP 7 is nice to use. Laravel is one of the best frameworks I've used. We have applications making millions of dollars a year running on a couple containers running Laravel 5 at my current job.

It's not a perfect language, but none are. I think some people are just jealous of how little setup/barrier to entry there is for PHP ;)

Genuinely interested - which app is making millions a year on Laravel?

It sounds like Pornhub is using PHP without a framework from this job posting or maybe they are just open minded.
