If I had to start a new project today from scratch I wouldn't pick PHP.

Yes it's popular, yes it powers Wordpress and the rest of them, yes it's a piece of piss to deploy but fuck me I severely dislike the language; from the syntax to the shitty bolted on OO system, wannabe closures and crappy defaults.

PHP is a bad language made infinitely worse by script kiddies who don't have a clue what they are doing.

I haven't looked back since moving to Ruby. That said if I was coding a commercial script like a tube script, I'd use PHP.
