Hi everyone,

I get more often the answer, when asking performance related stuff regarding PHP applications, that PHP really isn't the language for high-performance applications, and that a compiled language really is the way to go. The only thing holding me back to PHP is that it's what I have learned to work with for some while now and the development is quite rapid.

So, is PHP a thing of the past and should be put aside in web applications in favour of Ruby, for instance?

Thanks
