The one killer feature PHP has to offer over other languages:
ease of efficient deployment on cheap/free hosting. When I go to
deploy Python projects, it ends up either being as slow CGI on
the cheap/free hosting, or it ends up needing
WSGI/gunicorn/whatever on a more expensive service (whether
shared, VPS, or full hardware).
I dream of a day that deploying Python/Django apps is as
cheap/easy as deploying PHP code.
