The adult industry is stuck in PHP and so that is another reason why top talent is hard to find in adult.

I have to strongly disagree here. When you are a good programmer, you pick the best tool available for the task; in some cases, that is PHP. You weigh practicality, scalability and other aspects when making such a decision - the best tool "period" is not always the best tool for that task.
To use your own analogy, if you are planning a trip into the mountains, you may prefer the horse. Driving a few blocks to pickup some drinks? I doubt you are going to use your private jet. Planning to head to Europe from California? I don't think you'll be driving...each fits their own situation.
Saying the best programmers avoid PHP like the plague, or that PHP is a reason adult companies have trouble finding the right talent, is ridiculous
