Greetings, LanX.

I too greatly dislike the "bashing" of a persons chosen Language/Operating System/{...}. Mostly because the user that chooses it, tends to feel denigrated themselves.

I felt inclined to overlook that policy in this case, as 1) it sounded kind of witty. 2) My experience leads me to believe (at least as compared to Perl) it's fairly accurate.

Honestly. In my experience, it's pretty difficult to feel confident that you can safely expose PHP in the wild. At least, unless you join the patch-of-the-month club.

As a language alone. I find many times, it's the perfect choice. I just find too many risks involved. To get into the habit of using it (out in the wild).

Speaking of "witty"; loved your JavaScript note, above. :)

All the best.

UPDATE:

I should probably note; I'm speaking largely from a Service Provider standpoint. But I still feel it holds true for anyone running a web server on with an internet facing IP.
