I mean the obvious joke here is that it took 7 major versions over dozen of years to show its maturity :)

For me it's too late. I used PHP when it wasn't "mature" yet and hated it. There something blocking me now from ever going back to check it, no matter what its new features might be.

I cut my teeth on it years ago, I don't hate on it for cheap jokes. That said I don't know why anyone would pick it to start a new project in 2020. We've been lucky to have so many new and established options that are better in almost everyway.

Just came here to say this.

#10I've worked with PHP since 5.4, and to me the language has not been the obstacle, it has been my own skill-level that has held me back, and still is - I lack very much the core architectural skills in getting forward as a developer, among many other things.
I've seen some codebases using an even older version, and I think I can understand where people are coming from with their angst towards the language - but I think we should look at ourselves before we jump to the bandvagon of just hating something blindly - I remember being part of the "Apple sucks" group for no other reason than hype, and now I've used one for years as a work machine.
