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.
