I just read an interesting article about enterprise software. One of the
most common arguments against PHP tends to be "It's not enterprise ready."
This article talks more about ruby, but it could be about any
"non-enterprise" language as well.

I recently got a new job at a hospital, and the "enterprise software" they
have is no where near as high quality as it could/should be. This is my
first job at a somewhat large organization (500+ employees) so I was kind of
shocked at the state of their software. Typically healthcare systems are
further behind in the technology adoption, but having to deal with
workarounds all day long sure gets old.

Well, I know one problem is the view of "free" or "opensource" in some
people's eyes is that there must be something wrong with it. PHP falls into
this category. I work for a large corporation, we use PHP here, Yahoo uses
it, a lot of places use it. It can handle enterprise. Really, I think the
architecture of the software would dictate that more than that language.
