You mentioned cost elsewhere, and this can be a big cost that doesn't 
scale very well.

Even Facebook, every PHP-proponent's favorite example of a supposed "PHP 
user" has spent many years putting lots of effort into:

1. Mitigating PHP's problems (big coding standards guidelines based on 
many years experience by an army of developers, plus completely 
rewriting the PHP engine itself something like three times, see 
"HipHop". They don't use stock "Zend" PHP.)

2. Migrating *away* from PHP. See Facebook's own "Hack" language.
