php gets a lot of flack, for something powering the vast majority of sites on the internet. I belong to the Boston PHP group. I have never seen a group of people that don't really care about the language and just want to build something cool. A large portion of the Boston PHP talks are on thing web development that aren't php (javascript, git and so on). They even teach a online class on javascript. PHP developers tend not to love the language like python and ruby. Its not the new hotness. But it works fine and runs fast, I kinda like it.
