Exactly!
10 years ago, I rebuilt our site here from IIS and ASAPI dlls to Apache and PHP.
At the time I didn't know Python and there was all this PHP buzz so I decided to go with it. I took me about 4 or 5 days to learn all the things I need to know in PHP to build a website to interact with a MS SQL database in real time - finding someone talking about connecting to MS SQL at the time was the hardest thing.
I've re-written the site 3 or 4 times and even use PHP frame works to make the code more logical and OO, but despite all that I'm still embarrassed by the code and that is because I've learned Python since then. Python is just so much more organized and logic like FreeBSD! The next iteration of that web site will be in Python which will give Corporate Security a headache, which I love to do!
