It's bizarre to me that you started your post by dismissing an entire language based on popular opinion then end it by saying you don't understand the vitriol people have about a different language.

I personally don't understand the vitriolic posts on Go. I personally do understand the vitriolic comments about PHP, of which there are examples that are well-reasoned and go beyond "no generics!"[1]

It's 2015, the PHP ecosystem has progressed. Citing that blog post hurts your argument more than it helps.
The blog post is only three years old, and the problems it brings up are basic language problems. Has the language really changed that much in three years? And if so, wouldn't that leave all the existing projects out in the cold?
Serious question. I don't know the PHP community at all.
