The language a website is written in is insignificant to its success. Outside of AND and OR, it's all syntax anyway.

Agreed for the most part. It drives me crazy when people make absurd comments like "PHP doesn't scale". Besides the fact that there are plenty of examples of PHP sites that have scaled, it exposes a basic ignorance of modern software development. That being said, I wouldn't want to sit down and try to do all my development in Pascal because it also has AND and OR, but I think we all get the point.
