Yeah, to be honest you can write good code in any language and it'll usually look pretty similar... all the perl stereotypes come from having to maintain shell scripts from someone kludging their way through learning to code... it's the same reason why phpbad, amateurs could get into webdev with php so there's an impression that all php is the php written by amateurs.

Also, bear in mind that over time these languages have converged through feature additions "LISP has functional programming - why can't PHP have first class functions... oh traits look neat, let's add that... you know those statically typed languages sure seem nice..."
