It's always surprised me that Jeff has stuck with PHP. The guy is a very capable programmer who I thought would have moved on to bigger and better things. I guess the market for tutorials and learning is larger for PHP than most other languages, except Javascript, possibly...

  So you're saying no capable programmer would stick with PHP given the choice? what makes you think so?

    Because, put quite simply, there are better choices.

      I've been programming since I was a kid, I'm 34 now, I've been selling code since I was 16 and I still use PHP for the web. It has an intersection of features (speed of development, ease of deployment, availability of libraries, availability of programmers) that makes it a compelling choice for the web. Everything else (except toy stuff) I do in Python.
