Hello!

This is the current Lemmy equivalent of https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/.

The content and rules are the same here as they are over there. Taken directly from the /r/ProgrammingLanguages overview:

This community is dedicated to the theory, design and implementation of programming languages.

Be nice to each other. Flame wars and rants are not welcomed. Please also put some effort into your post.

This isn't the right place to ask questions such as "What language should I use for X", "what language should I learn", and "what's your favorite language". Such questions should be posted in /c/learn_programming or /c/programming.

This is the right place for posts like the following:

See /r/ProgrammingLanguages for specific examples

Most of the "reasons" apply to pretty much any language.

I don't know. I read this more like "excuses why I still cling to this one dying thing I already know and not learn anything new" than an actual valid reasoning. There might be more valid reasons to stick to PHP than what is proposed, but I'd say if you use the ones in the post, you are most likely lying to yourself.
