Yeah, I posted Veekun's thing.
Low overhead for deployment and ubiquitous availability are definite advantages for the beginning of a project. Unfortunately, those two advantages disappear when your site becomes successful. For a large user base, there's more overhead involved in keeping a PHP webapp running smoothly, and by that time you won't need ubiquitous availability because you'll be, hopefully, running and configuring your own servers.
- krapp 13y agoI can only assume you're right because I have no experience with having a site that's successful by anyone's standards (much less doing it in Python or Rails), but to me that still leaves a lot of room at the bottom of the pyramid for sites and apps that might not have any reason to expect such a large userbase.
