> It's easier to make them in PHP, but you have to learn about them whatever you choose.

I prefer to avoid these PHP flamewars, but I'd like to point out that languages and APIs are one sort of user-interface. They should be designed to make doing the right things easy, and the wrong things a lot more difficult. Neophytes and experts alike benefit.

Arguing for developer discipline is silly. It doesn't matter how good you are, you'll make mistakes. Taking steps to ensure those mistakes are less likely will save you and others a whole lot of grief.
