PHP is only meant to do that one thing. It's not really fair to gripe about it not serving a purpose it was never meant to serve.

Same could be said about Ruby. PHP and Ruby are both "General purpose programming languages". I'm not sure Matz saw creating iOS apps when he created Ruby in 1995. Sure it's not fair to gripe about the language. It's not the languages fault, you can only do one thing with it, it's the communities.
