PHP is just a language that so many of the so called programmers here like to bash. I doubt many have even used it, they take a quick look at the hello world and just write it off. But in reality, the language makes so little difference to most projects, it's more about the ecosystem, the jars for java, the packages for python, these are what propel a language to productivity highs. Imagine python without BeautifulSoup or numpy or scipy or any of a hundred packages I use daily. Imagine Java/scala without Mahout etc etc. The actual syntax is almost irrelevant to anyone that can articulate good software design in code.
It's like giving a pencil to Picasso and suddenly implying anything he draws will be shit just because he's not using paint. Utterly ridiculous arguments by the pseudo intellectuals here trying to convince themselves how smart they are for using Haskell. Meanwhile, real software developers just get on with writing good clean code in whatever language they want.
