> Google has a wiki page for their developers telling them to never ever use PHP for any google project.

I didn't know that, but it makes sense - the things that PHP's good for (getting a web-based service backed by some sort of datastore up and ready to receive requests) are not the things that Google (on the whole) cares about.

Google instead cares that the thing can be improved and maintained by your colleagues, few of whom know PHP.
