PHP and P++

I've used both PHP for a very long time and have been using Go for the past 4 years or so. Though I really like to use Go being statically typed and allow for low level machine access, I think there's still plenty of use cases for PHP. I haven't done any kind of formal analysis but my gut says that for certain templating or 'simple' webdevelopment projects, PHP may be the better choice in terms of implementation speed.

Also, using an IDE that provides static analysis, using OOP, and declaring strict_types=1 in every file, PHP is a pretty decent programming language. Most of the crap it receive(s|d) is based on PHP4 and people who were able to get something to compile, but in no way could be considered programmers or software engineers.
