ONLY in the respect that I'm a programmer who will use the language in 
order to make money, and that's about it.

Personally, if I had my way, everything'd be in native code, period.  No 
VMs, no bytecode interpreters (except maybe IBM-style hypervisor 
interpreter systems, which are actually very nice in terms of /operating 
system portability/), and all statically-typed native code.

My problems with core PHP stem from its auto-fsck-yous (read through the 
PHP source if "auto-fsck-you" doesn't make sense yet---it will!).

My problem with PHP programmers is that they are unaware of the 
auto-fsck-yous.

My problem with most of the system as a whole is, well, the amount of 
the database they take in US-CERT's vulnerability DB.

As I mentioned previously, we will write PHP code to be secure on a 
best-effort basis.  But I'd have to be completely stupid to assure 
anyone that it can be proved safe.
