Yeah... right... I've always said I'm a web dev, and PHP is as "script" as C#, except that the compilation happens "live". I hope you realize that most of the big websites and services are based on PHP? Join php and rldb and you can build plenty of complex stuff. It is not about the language afterall, but about how can you solve the problems/tasks. If you can do everything in JS - do it.. Python? Porfavor. As long as it does what it must do.
Check
this to see what the world's biggest websites actually use. And no, Facebook doesn't count, they roll out their own
patches.
"As long as it does what it must do" is the bane of professional programmers everywhere. It's what Indian programmers say to one another. You should consider using the
best tool for the job, taking into account not only functionality but also:
1) Maintenability (you will know what this means if you ever need to re-architect a codebase of hundreds of thousands of lines)
2) Performance (as above, try making changes on a system with
O(n^2) complexity)
3) Security (essential if you ever build a system that handles customers' financial information).
I have done all of the above and I say: to put PHP in the same sentence as C# is like saying that a fiat is the same as a maserati, because "they are both cars".
