facebook disagrees with you, they run php, same with wikipedia. granted many web presences are transitioning away from it and towards java/rails/python platforms (among others). that still doesn't change the fact that its a perfect introductory language for his project.



Yeah at first but they modified the language and now use "hack" which is pretty much a tweaked / modified version of php. Also, because of phps poor performance, facebook has resorted to developing an in house JITT which they compile their code with.

Facebook runs their own brand, php might not have started as a real language but it developed into one and is widely used server side.
