After someone posted this article to the dZone site they were quick to spot that it missed one crucial language from the list: PHP.
So here’s my take on what PHP would be like if it was a car:
PHP was a mountian bike that got crow barred into car-dom. Its had a lawn mower engine strapped to its rear wheels and a turbo made from washing machine ducting kitted round the front. To keep it all going a set of stabilisers and prayer beads have been chucked on. It’ll get you from A to B but its not as reliable or friendly as that Python and Ruby model that just hovered past.
