Modern Language Wars

This is a very nice infographic.

I've programmed a lot in PHP and still wonder why its rep is as bad as it is. For anyone deciding what language to learn, I think they would look at the stats and see that PHP is the fastest, the easiest, and the one with the most Jobs - and pick it.

Having said that I'd much rather program in Ruby if I'm doing high level stuff - for some reason, ruby is just more fun or easy and doesn't feel as "dirty" as programming in php does - although I don't know exactly why php feels that way, maybe its the embedded open_tags :)
