I get sick of these language wars, especially the constant stream of PHP ridicule that just never seems to end. The positives I try to take away from all of it is that there are a lot of people that are extremely passionate about software development and are striving for better tools and ways to express themselves. I want to believe that through the vitriol encountered in some of these articles that there are people really trying to improve the technologies at heart instead of taking part of some kind of programing language apologetics. In regards to PHP, I think that the ridicule has led to improvements in the language, but the overall tone in some of these articles is still a turn off for me.
