Yeah. Pretty much all new projects I do are python (flask, actually), but I still can see a place for very simple PHP scripts - which I think was it's initial intention, and which it can still do.

The same for sh/bash. It's great for very simple automation/scripts, but after certain level, it's much much easier to use a language which helps you write maintainable code and doesn't actively try to stop you.

It's not that they're not possible, but if you want an "upload and forget" way of deployment, you have thousands of hosting providers with a LAMP stack, but only a handful of Python/Ruby providers like Heroku (or you have the choice of using a VPS, which again means having to manage it).
