Well, I don't love php anymore, even if i have start with it, and do i hope good job on builder home made extranet,

We use php for our frontend, and it is a company decision, so now we got big product, it is hard to switch.

But I love building web site with Perl, and it is hard to apply it to a company. at least in my case.

I've seen a company with 2 web developers in Ruby doing a hell of a lot more than 40 developers in PHP in another team.

"Finding one" isn't in and of itself a quality or something to consider.
You're probably better off having someone who knows programming (Ruby/Perl/Python) move to web, rather than getting a PHP programmer.

Of course. But at least you can find some. It is not obvious to find a good web perl developer. I can see that in my company.

Use other language for the frontend may have some advantage. The first I see, is that you can have more developer available in other language to maintain the frontend.

It's easier to find PHP Zend developer than Perl Web developer. Also true for python.

There is a major problem with that approach. The reason it's easier to find a PHP developer is because the language is cheap. It's really easy to learn, and tons of people learn it to get a job. The PHP knowledge pool is very shallow though. That means almost PHP developers are very shitty developers that stopped learning because PHP doesn't really have a very proficient level to it.

So companies that figure "hey, there are more PHP developers than Perl/Python/Ruby - I'll get programmers in those!" end up with really really horribly shitty code that it's impossible for them to actually get beyond of. I've worked at a lot of these companies. It's horrible. Really horrible.

Don't be duped by number of developers overall. Think about "available developers", "developer knowledge and expertise" and "ability to provide a good product". Who gives a shit if there are less developers if I can still find enough?
