IBM is announcing support for PHP. I would rather it were Perl, because I find PHP cumbersome. Still, it's absolutely a move in the right direction, and I'd much rather work with PHP or Python than Java. "IBM's push into PHP and scripting reflects IBM's disillusionment with the Java standardization process and the industry's inability to make Java very easy to use. 'IBM's been so fed up with Java that they've been looking for alternatives for years,' the executive said. 'They want people to build applications quickly that tap into IBM back-ends...and with Java, it just isn't happening.'"
