And even then, Perl and Ruby (heck, even Bash) have a semantic difference between double- and single-quoted strings. The only other popular general-purpose languages where they're synonymous are PHP, JavaScript, and Lua.

PHP does treat single and double quotes differently. Contents of single quotes strings are not parsed for variable substitution.
