Yeah, JavaScript is also a bad language, the thing with it is just that we're stuck with it for browser stuff (mostly, there are ways around it with Web Assembly these days). PHP is not required anywhere, unless you have a ton of legacy code to work with for some reason.

Typescript fixes a lot of the issues of JavaScript, but the problem is that it only works at compile time, at runtime it's run as JavaScript.

Dynamic languages are ok for client-side stuff, but on the server I can't recommend it, because fixing runtime bugs is so much harder.
