Having used php for the last year in my job, there is one thing I
appreciate: with a language that is focused on string manipulation, it
is so much better to be able to simply output variables inside strings
rather than having to exit a quotation, and use a concatenation
operator.

Php is basically a toy example of a language.  Nobody uses it for serious
work. You just think your work is serious, but it isn't. Php shows what
the world would look like if it was created by an "intelligent designer".

No, it's you who are not serious ;)

php sucks as a language, but its what I have to work with. There are some good parts to it.

I don't have much experience with these languages except that in college
while taking a scheme course, I wanted to create a bonfire out of all
parentheses keys.

Sounds really mature. "I have no experience with D, it's just some shitty
language with lots of semicolons - yea, lots of semicolons is all I
remember and that after finding Python I've never looked back - Python is
the most native high-performance language I know". You've probably missed
99% of the power of Lisp by only focusing on parenthesis.

So go join the lisp newsgroup and give out online high fives. I'll just stay right here, thanks :)
