     @hub It's admittedly language bigotry. But every time I have touched PHP it has felt extremely un-beautiful to me.

     @hub PHP feels like design was an afterthought. Others have said it better: http://ur1.ca/8yzav http://ur1.ca/95nqx http://ur1.ca/8znjb

     What PHP does right though is it is really easy to get started and really easy to deploy.
