You are argue that php is better then than using ruby or javascript. Now I could perhaps weight in on that somewhat dubious claim but I'd much rather ask why are you restricting the pool to php, ruby, and javascript?

Why not Python, or Go, or even Haskell? There are many languages other than the three you mention which have much better reputations for secure web programming.

You likely got downvoted because you presented a false choice to back up your argument.

I chose the languages above mainly due to their popularity outside the sphere of silicon valley - you are right that I should have included python in this list, but go and haskell are still only popular in a very restricted audience and I myself haven't used them - they may well be better for secure programming, they just didn't come to mind when I was thinking of examples.
