What do you think, are there more php or more ruby developers in OSM ? Normally within open source projects people tend to use ruby, but many times I saw small projects coded in php. Iam currently unsure if I should start a new project with php/symfony or ruby/rails.
It depends. For projects that produce webpages, there's probably more Ruby activity than PHP activity. Python is also pretty popular.
For web-based APIs, I don't see PHP often used in OSM. Ruby on rails and Python are both common, and you also see Go, nodejs, and C++.
All of these languages have advantages and disadvantages and none of them is appropriate for everything.
