> What kind of greenfield projects were they, and who was making those conscious choices? Without context it's just non-sense. B2B shop, Marketplace, lots typical CRUD stuff. I don't think there is much of a pattern. Developers wanted to use PHP. Though of course here in Germany PHP is much more popular than in the states. > What other technologies have you used in your experience, that came to conclusion? For server-side stuff: Ruby, Python, JS/TS, Squeak/smalltalk (yes actually in production) Ruby used to have some productivity advantages because of Rails but these day, as PHP frameworks have caught up, I see many shops that did both PHP and Ruby going back to PHP. > Name features PHP avoided while copying. Those that PHP does not have? Not sure how to make a negative list.
