You forgot the most important part of the rant: PHP is a never-ending source of security holes. Many of these holes are avoidable if great care is taken, but the more the language grows, the more there is to worry about.

Sorry, I must rant too! Posted Aug 19, 2004 19:58 UTC (Thu) by holstein (subscriber, #6122) [Link] Many of these holes are avoidable if great care is takenThe problem is the development process of PHP. Or the lack of it... I was at the PHPQuebec Conference, in Montreal last year. At the end of the conference, there was a question session with the 10 or so developpers with @php.net addresses. One of the questions was "what is the process to get a feature accepted in PHP? How is this discussed?". The answer was "there is none. The one that want to add the feature does it and if nobody say anything against it, it stays". Wow. We are soooo far away from the Python PEP or the Perl Apocalypses/Exegesis...
