O.k. first my sarcastic reply just because the above sentence is too
perfect :)
Marc.. you use PLphp? :P
But in response to the question, the "joke" was supposed to be that PHP
regardless of its distribution, user base (and obvious productivity) is
widely considered a language lacking.
One of the jokes at PostgreSQL Conference West was something like, "If
you are using Perl, use Ruby, if you are using PHP, use anything else."
I would have to actually listen to the talk to here exactly what that
joke was though. It is here if you are interested:
