>> PHP Fog was formed last year by Lucas Carlson, a PHP developer over the past eight years who is also described in the news release as one of the world’s leading developers of the Ruby programming language. Am I the only one who finds this ironic?

No. The ruby community just attracts more language snobs than most languages, and unfortunately, tolerates them. In reality the people who make sweeping negative generalizations about PHP developers are a vocal minority. In reality, most rubyists acknowledge that there are plenty of good PHP developers and plenty of bad Ruby developers.

    Because people can only have a background in one language? I think you're the one missing benatkin's point and proving yourself to be one of the language snobs he mentioned. Good developers are good developers. In your own quote it says he has 8 years of PHP experience. Sure, he has a really good Ruby background but it looks like he has a really good PHP background as well.
