I once wrote some PHP. It's the worst language. I can't believe anybody would write a respectable compiler, for a respectable language, in this junk.

And yet, all over the Internet, real websites, real business, is getting built using PHP. Whilst people write fractal of a bad blog post, the smart folks are quietly delivering.

The implied "it is used by a lot of people so it must be good" is a non sequitur. Also, all these "real websites" also have very real problems that come from using PHP.
