      <description><![CDATA[<p>
In his <a href="http://www.gravitonic.com/blog/archives/000195.html">latest</a>, <i>Andrei Zmievski</i> talks a bit about <a href="http://ohloh.net/wiki/articles/php_eats_rails">an article</a> over on the Ohloh.net website (statistics site that analyzes the source of Open Source applications) titled "PHP Eats Rails for Breakfast".
</p>
<blockquote>
So far they've indexed over 3,000 projects and their conclusion seems to be that among Web scripting languages, PHP is the undisputed champion (as measured by the LOC count).
</blockquote>
<p>
He also notes that they've discovered something interesting - despite the lowering numbers of developers/projects being done with PHP, the code and applications seem to be growing still. <i>Andrei</i> interprets this as a positive move for developers away from the "reinvent the wheel" school of thought to a more "find something that works already and go from there".
