This is a very off generalization, the language you use doesn't effect your ability as a programmer, what does is the way you use it.
Anything you can build in Ruby or Python, you could also build in PHP, it may take longer, or less time, but consider this thought as a rebuttal to your elitism for just one moment:
If PHP is such a bad language, then to create equally good programs in PHP instead of Ruby would generally mean that the average PHP programmer is better than the average Ruby programmer.
That's an off generalization too, but since we are both throwing around random, baseless comments, there's another.
So, you are responding to a strawman because you just like to argue? Try reading my post again, I didn't say anything about PHP programmers.
I'm curious as to why you think there is so little overlap in those two categories. There seems to be an awfully big PHP defence force here for example.
