I wanted to share this one:

PHP related quote:

"PHP, unlike Perl and Python which were very broad in scope, focused from
its inception on a single task: building dynamic websites. It's safe to say
that it has succeeded, with the latest Netcraft surveys finding PHP
installed on over 16 million domains. PHP combines a syntax that is easy for
even novice web designers to learn, with a rich library of modules that
capitalize on the fact that most websites need to do similar things (talk to
databases, cache images, process forms, etc.). PHP is now considered the
most serious competition to the web strategies of both Microsoft (with
ASP.NET) and Sun (with J2EE). "

Worth reading !
