I wouldn't be shocked if Wordpress has singlehandedly tarnished the reputation of PHP in general
Writing modern php 7.2+ and creating a WordPress plugin is akin to time traveling. The experience in WordPress is not so great but they have a commitment to backwards compatibility. So I get it. But ya, I agree with this statement.
