Interesting choice. A lot of places still use it, but it definitely feels dirty. Not the kind of thing you usually see around here. While it is still used a lot, I have to say, when I saw PHP I immediately closed GitHub.

Do you close your browser when you find out it is written in C++? Or shut down your OS when you find out it is written in C? Or angrily close the browser tab when you find out something on the page uses JavaScript? Do you then go and wash your hands and wipe the nervous sweat from your brow?
If a tool gets a job done, does the language matter?
No language is perfect. I know PHP feels "dirty" but the misuse of it is likely the cause of widespread disparaging. Even the English language is not perfect. Does this stop you using it?
Just a thought. I tend to close tabs when I come across stuff written in languages I can't write in... :-)
