PHP guy here. Which doesn't mean that I love php that much, but still pays all the bills. How I ended up doing PHP? Long story. Anyway, i've been working in almost any kind of environment. PHP powers massive and remarkable architectures and i NEVER felt it was falling short during implementations. Another story is the community, which is also the only damn community which has scientists and amateurs sitting in the same room. The quality of the code depends entirely on the person who is using the language, still I think that actually allowing "non-programmers" to power their projects easily (despite being badly designed, they still can fly) with PHP is a feature and not a bug.

  Be elastic, the core concept is not about "being unique".

    Than why did you qualify it with "only"?

  Just invoking BlubParadox seems condescending.

  As far as i can see, smart people of HN is failing to grasp the meaning of a simple sentence. You won't see ANY amateur using R. Period. In the PHP community you find people building hairdressers websites and distributed systems experts. It's not about having scientists or having amateurs, is about having them together, at the same time and in the same room. As a side note: Blub paradox doesn't apply.

    >You won't see ANY amateur using R. Period What? I see tons of them. I am one of them. What kind of ridiculous assertion is that? >It's not about having scientists or having amateurs, is about having them together, at the same time and in the same room. It is about you pretending something is unique when it applies to every single programming language in existence.

    >In the PHP community you find people building hairdressers websites and distributed systems experts. Same goes for Python, then. >Blub paradox doesn't apply. You did describe yourself as a "PHP Guy".
