In the commercial world this does not happen, Stef. If they choose PhP  
then they do so because that was set right from the beginning. Even when  
someone wishes to do something else, nobody hires (+educates +trains) 3-13  
Smalltalk programmers just because the existing PhP team failed to win the  
performance challenge.

Only _after_ a (commercial) project fails (fails b/o hw, fails b/o sw =>  
failure reason almost irrelevant) then the speed comparision is taken a  
bit more seriously into account. Remember that Google started with (and  
still has) Perl scripts:

- http://www.google.com/search?q=perl+job&gl=US

then view the Google entry under "Sponsored Links".

OT: repeat the same search but with other languages, hit refresh  
frequently (3-13 times per language should show you all the advertisers).  
[still OT]: this one hindered me using $$ AdWords to promote Squeak,  
cannot bid more or equal to what Google bids for their own ads :(

Yes, please.
