> I also think the PHP community lacks brilliant developers.
Really? How can you say that with a straight face about a community of that size? I get that maybe you don't think PHP is brilliant, but to say that it lacks brilliant developers seems closed minded and kinda rude.
What I mean by brilliant developer is someone who comes up with new paradigm shifting ideas that influence not just PHP development but other languages as well. I have been part of the PHP community for a very long time and I have read a huge amount of books/articles/blogs on PHP development. And I can't recall something that really impressed me.
