"My web programming started in PHP, but I've since moved on to real languages."

You do realise that comments like that constitute serious trolling right?

PHP is a serious language and IMHO you're being a little self righteous. PHP can and is used to build real web apps every day - that's a fact. It's fast, flexible, robust, etc, and I for one prefer it over Python.

Please take a look at CI (http://codeigniter.com/) and at least give it a fair review before making statements like the one you just made.
