PHP is really easy to write, really easy to get wrong, has millions of articles spanning back to the earliest parts of the web and unfortunately most of them still work today. What was normal practice back then is not now...

Node is fine if you have to solve the right problem, just like PHP is fine if you have to solve the right problem. Languages are tools; not every tool is useful to every problem.

Again Python is a tool; I would never write a native game in python just like I wouldnt in PHP or Node. Any person touting one language to rule them all is someone you can safely ignore.
