Interesting to see how everyone seems to be constantly picking on PHP, yet this poll shows that it's the second most used language used for our apps/startups.

- ErrantX 16y agoThis may be an "unpopular" view, but if you need a simple, no nonsense, well supported language, tailored for web use with no big gotchas and you are not facing any particularly exquisite engineering problems.... PHP is often a no brainer. (it's kinda the Perl of web development)
- AdamN 16y agoIt's third now and keep in mind that PHP is 3 times as old as the iPhone so you're dealing with momentum issues also. Most sites more than 5 years old are PHP and the switching costs are too high to leave the language.
