Writing some C will cure that disease, but the treatment has possible side effects, like carpal tunnel syndrome.

P.G. is right about PHP. This language is better than Python in various ways. For ex. it does not scare people away if you want to sell your project, because everyone and their grandma knows PHP. Most successful web pages (eg. FB) started out with PHP, not Lisp, C++, Python, Java, but PHP.
