Sometimes you need a revolution before you can have evolution. PHP is a good language for a lot of applications, but I'm not sure I would pick it for my next big project anymore. This isn't intended as a slight, just some feedback; but the language doesn't appear to be evolving to encourage quality development the way that Python has. Following this list for a long time leads me to believe that the ideal of maintaining backwards compatibility is one of the big reasons why (concern about execution speed being the other big reason, something I've always been impressed with with the PHP developers).
