Funny you say that because right after I learned PHP, I went for Sepples. I found it very refreshing compared to PHP. PHP is an absolute mess of a language that leads to bad spaghetti code, _by design_. There are no sane design principles. Even Javascript is more organized.

The one and only reason PHP became popular is how stupidly easy it is to set up the environment and deploy. Any idiot can make a CRUD site with PHP. "Hello World" in PHP literally is not far off from a service that uploads files. Instant gratification.

PHP is a very short sighted solution. Any sufficiently large PHP project will have to be rewritten, bar none.
