PHP is a pretty strong language these days - don't knock it until you try it.

There are definitely issues with getting fine grained memory control in a performant manner but for general processing it's pretty competitive.

Ditto. Today's PHP is not your what your grandfather used to use. It's a much matured and evolving language. Python only got so popular due to Google's use and AI. It's like the new Perl.
