I was using PHP frameworks between 2007 and 2011. Have you been watching what has been happening with the Python-based frameworks in the past 10+ years?
Were you really? Because saying things like "There is package management in PHP but I never found any code bases in the wild" or getting excited by writing RESTful APIs paints another picture.
You've taken the wrong impression from those statements. Have a look at my CV if you wish.
