How do you know that the site is written in PHP? Not to mention that there are some php applications with a decent security record.

Security is a process not an end-state provided out-of-the-box by any existing language.

Exactly. A big example of this is the OpenBSD operating system. OpenBSD is written in C and has an excellent security record. Another example that comes to mind is the Apache Web Server.
