I Like PHP
From the comments: "PHP is great for its purpose. Quick scripts that generate web content. It’s even OK for small applications. But just like C, PHP is lousy for the medium to large. Any software project with a duration in months or greater that is entirely in PHP is going to be painful."<p>Like Facebook? Or Wordpress? Or Digg?<p>PHP aint perfect, but it's demonstrably suitable for medium to large projects.
