- PHP's capability is limited in a sense that its main use case is akin to a template engine rather than a full fletched executable. This puts a lot of limit in PHP
- TS steps up JS' game. Like what other have said, TS brings the hassle of maintaining complex codebase down quite a lot.
- NodeJS is a stepping stone for many frontend developers to learn backend because of the same language used.
- JS' syntax and capabilities, while having inherent unavoidable footguns, allow expressive code (I might be partial on this, the last time I used php is a long time ago)
