The snark at #php in US-developer circles never ceases to amaze me.

It’s like people somehow remember their php3 experiments when they were 12 or something and feel the need to show that they are somehow above that.

Nah dude not only is php a decent programming language, but it’s also a language that allows you to have a working site whatever your experience level, which is why 12 year olds have loved it throughout the ages, and that’s fucking amazing in its own right.
