You may be right; but, I guess Ruby on Rails would kill PHP if
they didn't take any steps such as Zend PHP Framework. Think, why
they've to divert their business from core PHP to Framework. I'm sure,
such a framework "create your website in just 10mins" will attract more
than a hard core language. I also think that there will be a better
framework coming. Would be better if there is a Visual PHP or something
like that in which we manage the abstractions, etc and that in turn to
create a tight code.
