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.

Nop he described it pretty accurate.The reason why facebook is in php it's because it's founder was php programmer so it was an obvious reason to use it.If i would build something new,i would always use PHP simply because i have expertise in it and while other languages are better and faster,those advantages are not big enough to justify learning and using them.
