Try python - it would blow your mind.
For 7 years, I too was a PHP believer for its simplicity. It was my favorite language by far.
1.2 year ago, I started to use python and was hesitant with it at first. As I worked more and more in python, I simply fell in love it. It does lot of greats things that PHP does (dynamic arrays, dictionaries, and functional programming) and adds lot more functionality that PHP is missing.
1. How would you add a new element to an array?
PHP: array[] = 2
Python: array += [2]
2. How to combine 2 arrays?
PHP: ?? array_merge(...) ??
Python: array += array <- it is as simple as appending to a string.
