While i personally dislike php and python in general makes me feel 
claustrophobic, no language is perfect. The white space issues with 
python, by some, is considered a feature because the idea behind python 
is to enforce coding standards. In this case it forces writers to make 
neat code. As for setting your self on fire you might want to settle for 
minor lighter burns because despite php's litany of flaws elitism tends 
to only hurt the elitists.
