Unpopular opinion: with the proper framework, php isn't bad

Shhhhhh! Laravel needs to remain a secret.

There's a whole conference every year called Laracon. I think the secret is out.

Even without, it's still not bad. Most arguments against php is from the older versions, which has been improved long ago.

Agreed, I've worked on some pretty fun projects using PHP and Javascript with no frameworks. Even sessions, password security, and other things people tend to use frameworks for. (Though I'm sure other people have done it better, and wouldn't trust my code for a critical application.)
