I still use PHP for the majority of my websites, although I've recently started using C for non realtime / backend stuff.

Over the past few months I recoded an application that needed 400 different PHP processes consuming a total of about 2GB of RAM, into a single internally threaded C app that consumes <100MB. Internet bandwidth is now the limiting factor, rather than RAM and CPU utilisation.
