I haven't used PHP in a while (10+years) but I didn't think it was that frustrating as its reputation seems to imply today. I remember their docs all had examples and I found that pretty useful.

The literal entirety of Facebook / Instagram / Whatsapp's backend is built on PHP.

I'm not saying that was a good choice, but it does guarantee a lot of resources flowing to it's development.
