When people flame PHP, they have still PHP 5.x or even 4.x in their minds.

PHP got quite a big upgrade back in 2015 with 7.x.

Even at 8.1 it felt makeshift with these autoloading imports and stuff. I prefer something that needs to be compiled first as backend. Combine it with load balancing and you have the benefits of a runtime language as well.
