As a tool for C avoidance, PHP is a bit of a johnny-come-lately.
If that's all you're really interested in, then there are plenty of
more well established options with whatever bells and whistles you're
interested in.

C vs. PHP is just such a weird dichotomy because pure C is so
ancient and PHP is kind of not (and thus somewhat redundant).

On the other hand, PHP has gained itself a reputation for being
the modern day equivalent of Sendmail or BIND in terms of being a
security disaster.
