Why no love for PHP? 
jxcole: I use PHP every day at work. I find that the best way to program PHP is to pretend it is java and ignore (almost) all the other features. Many of the features of the language are very powerful and because they are so powerful, PHP has a tendency not to scale well.If there are 200+ ways to do one thing you can guarantee that looking at someone else's code will always be an adventure. You CAN write good code in PHP, but it is flexible enough that bad programmers will be able to take it and do much worse things than they could with, say, java.Call me old hat but I think type safety is an important aspect of scalable projects. If I could add one feature to PHP it would be enforced type safety.
