It is not about the language is it... I don't think there is so big difference between php and python. Besides Slack is most probably using whole lot more tech than php.

It is about Zullip being open source.

It's also about the language. See, for example,

That is from 2014. There have been many changes in the programming language since.

Most people nowadays are using frameworks and abstraction layers which make most of these points moot.
