The "speed" at which a team develops has very little to do with the actual language.

This is strongly contrary to my experience and extensive reports online. You wouldn't hesitate to argue that PHP is probably at least an order of magnitude more efficient for building web apps than C, right?

So why is it so hard to imagine that a cleaner and more expressive language than PHP might be as much as 2x better than PHP?
