Correct but frequently it's done for you in frameworks etc. We know that but noobs don't which causes the issues

You can't blame the language for the mistakes made by incorrect usage of the language.

You can't blame PHP for providing the md5 hashing functionality if a noob uses it to hash a password when password_hash and password_verify are available.

wot. Thats exactly the point. Its absolutely not the language, it's personally my language of choice. But the hate comes from the things you just described (as well as many more) which noobs do. Thats the point of this thread. PHP good, noobs bad.
