Whatever language you are fluent in, its going to be difficult to switch to another language. Sure, I get the syntactical sexiness of Python, but learning its proclivities really would take years.
The fact is that my comfort with PHP stems from knowing what I know, knowing there are things I don't know, knowing there are unknowns I don't know, and knowing there are unknowns that are unknown. (Thanks, Rumsfeld)
Its this grasp on the language that gives me comfort. Mix that in with the universality of PHP and I'm more than willing to take my lumps for being told I solve problems using a shitty language.
There are shitty guns and shitty marksman. A good marksman can kill you with a shitty gun, but a shitty marksman will always be a shitty marksman.
