Bzzt. It's PHP firstmost, like it or not.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_(software_bundle)
The acronym LAMP (or L.A.M.P.) refers to a set of free software
programs commonly used together to run dynamic Web sites or servers:
* Linux, (more precisely GNU/Linux) the operating system;
* Apache, the Web server;
* MySQL, the database management system (or database server);
* PHP (Sometimes Perl or Python), the programming language.
Variants
Sometimes Perl and Python are used in place of PHP and are often
referred to as LAMP systems as well. One review of the platform goes
so far as to say "Let the P stand for PHP, Perl, Python, and Ruby."[2]
Some developers prefer to use the M to mean mod perl or mod python and
the P to mean PostgreSQL in effect reversing the M and the P in
functionality, which can cause some confusion.
Another variant designates the M to be Middleware (including Ruby,
Perl,Python etc) and the P to be PostgreSQL. Although not generally
accepted, this definition could be seen as a token of the continuing
evolution in the free software community while redefining its
objectives and boundaries.
