I'm sorry, but that's a ridiculous comparison. Bring me a site doing the volume Facebook is, and we'll talk. Until then, you're over-engineering and making maintenance more of an issue than it needs to be. PHP is widely used and well represented in the development community. Getting another coder to extend or repair your code is very easy. By moving to another language, you unnecessarily narrow your potential candidates and/or raise their average price.
Don't "solve" non-problems; adult isn't that sophisticated, nor are its problems overly-complex to address. PHP scales very well for all but the largest applications, and I won't pretend it doesn't.
