My point was more that just because some code example is written in PHP you can't automatically infer that the code is inferior.
Perhaps I'm terribly arrogant but I do make that inference. Simply because the number of good coders who would pick PHP when given a choice is very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very small. And shrinking.
I'm sure that if it was up to the programmers many big sites would be hacked out in Haskell, but as it is an awful lot of them happen to be done in PHP. And Coders have jobs and bosses.
