Sure, PHP is not the most structured nor a modern computer language. Read about the glitches[1][2]. Then read about how many developers and sites use it for web pages; statistics reveal it has a 82% percent domination[3][4]. Facebook told to run on PHP, of course with their engine that was open sourced[5]. Then the original developers of PHP is refactoring the whole code base under PHPNG[6]. As such, it's a moving target and still has some potential. We will see that the upcoming languages like Rust[7] holds for us.
