Well, I am a "use the right tool for the job" developer, PHP just happens to be prob my favorite language despite its quirks.
I mean, I started with integer BASIC and microassembly on the 6502 as a kid. I did C, Pascal, LOGO, Modula-2, Ada, lots of Lisp, C++, D, FalconPL, Perl, and lots of assembly and scripting languages before I got to PHP. And lots since then. Pretty sure nobody should ever know…
