I enjoyed PHP. I enjoyed Ruby. If I was to do a complex project that would require a lot of integration with external services, I would want a good OOP language like python or ruby.

There are something PHP does nicely than Ruby does. Visa versa. However in all the PHP apps I have made / used, their structures started out with good intentions and then descended into pure chaos. There isn't a unified package manager for Python and PHP that is widely accepted. Ruby has rubygems and bundler.

Maybe next time when I start building another PHP app with namespacing, I'll behave better and make my designs more decoupled so that components can be removed and added, provided their interfaces match.
