    Sometimes your app just stops working because of some typo in your code
I don't know of any programming language that will auto-correct typos for you.

    or the spaghetti code becomes just too unreadable.
If you don't write spaghetti code, you won't have a problem

    PHP just doesn't seem exciting for me anymore.  There doesn't seem to be anything exciting happening.
PHP isn't some 0.6-pre-alpha release software that douchebag developers use for production apps and get excited about when the core API changes every 3 weeks.

    not much has been happening with the language and nothing interesting as far as apps or frameworks.
so you, as a developer, are complaining that no interesting apps are being developed in a specific language..?

    Since I'm not a sysadmin, I prefer to pay extra to have my code managed by someone.
Sysadmin's don't manage code. You are a developer, you should be managing your own code.

    Interfaces and reflection are awesome.
both of which PHP has.

    Go helps me write cleaner and more maintainable code
I doubt it. You claimed that your code "becomes" spaghetti. Which implies that it starts out "clean and maintainable". I'll wait with baited breath for how long it takes your new code to also "become" shit.
