Sorry, Joseph, but your article comes across as a bit prejudiced. You can't critique a programming language or framework based on talk of others without trying it extensively first. It's similar to saying you don't like a particular food or drink based on someone else's experience or opinion, and you're just promoting a false bias and misinformation. Also, a language like PHP has matured and improved massively in recent years, especially since I started on PHP 4.0, so I think it would be churlish of you (and others) to base current day languages/frameworks on their past if you've not used them - please judge something on what it is today, not what it was. I hope you take these suggestions into account with your future publications for a more balanced view.

On the plus side, I'm glad you are liking the Django framework. I've heard good things about it, but I've got very little experience of it, unfortunately. However, it's each to their own, as the saying goes.

Good luck for the future!
