To adapt an old advertising slogan, I'd walk a mile to avoid PHP.

PHP is a huge security attack surface with a small interpreted language
hiding somewhere inside it. ;->

P.S.: If you want to annoy Rasmus Lerdorf, whisper the words 'Personal
Home Page' to him. (He's reportedly a little touchy about PHP's genesis
and original name. I forgot to try the above the last time I met him,
but should have done so, in the name of science.)

(Seriously, though, I do like Rasmus.)
