I second the call for more PHP hate here. I don't know enough about  
PHP to really hate it... except what I've observed as a network  
security guy.

As far as I can tell one of the reasons PHP won was because it had a  
really sucky half-assed web security model that made PHP applications  
no more secure than anything else, but made people think that because  
it paid lip service to web security it was actually doing something  
for them. So they could avoid thinking about it.

Of course Perl has one of those too, so I guess you're right...

Yah. Where's my hate. And a pony.
