Interesting, but the opening line threw me off:

I still use it to build my latest projects, and for me it’s like breathing. Simple and functional. It’s not perfect, but no language is.

Yeah, no reason for PHP to catch strays here, especially if his knowledge is still based on 4.1. It's really a whole new language compared to back then.
