The problem is the original PHP design *was* comically bad and encouraged comically bad practices. A lot of that baggage still haunts it, but the worse part is that without the *designers* of the language having good practices, you build a community that doesn't either.

I expect some level of functionality out of the box without having to hunt for a library. But that's not what we've been discussing here. I don't care what language you use, but be clear that bad developers are bad developers regardless of the language. It's. Not. The. Language.
Some languages breed more bad developers than others. Some languages make even good developers more likely to make mistakes. Sometimes it really is the language.

Yes, languages with a low barrier to entry. Let's make it more difficult to get into coding, or blame the easy to learn language. It's not the language!

"It's not the language" boils down to "you're using it wrong" and "people should just be smarter and more careful". Which is always a bad argument. Also, you're throwing a false dichotomy here.
