Well, the "PHB" was right for once. Requesting the use of mainstream languages like PHP or Python prevented the use of exotics like the author mentioned he would have used. They might be good but their limited user base makes it very difficult to maintain the code in the future. The choice seems to be very limited though, there would have been more options in the market. But using Python or PHP has worked for businesses of seemingly sizes and the blog author could have come up with reasons to his boss why they don't fit. From the elegance of the article's writing and the insightfulness presented the "PHB" seems to have done the author a benefit though to select reasonably simple systems.
