Not impressed by your comment at all. If you think that the age of Nikita Popov or Andrea Faulds is any indicator of their "competence" I suggest you actually take a look at their contributions.

My comment just said that they are just college students. And the links are to prove that. Those are just facts. I don't know why people are pissed.
Edit: It is not just their age. I have seen their contributions (RFC's and implementations) and had conversations with them. And my opinion is also based on that...

There are lots of PHP-lovers in this thread. My above comment got voted down to -2 as of right now.
Everyone focuses on the "my experience is old" and not on the "it's not an asynchronous language" part. Oh well, I lost some Internet points.
The difference between Php and Javascript is that Javascript have competent people driving it forward. Php is still developed by college students with no real world programming experience, in their spare time....
Downvotes? Don't think this is true? See the following. These are couple of most prominent people working in the language.
