I worked at Yahoo, and it was Perl and PHP. Sheer madness.
Their were some talented folks but I'd like them more to cowboys - git'r done instead disciplined engineers.
Lots of production applications that had the code quality of your typical hacky side project.
I once had a debate with my manager about classes/OOP in PHP5. He didn't like it because it usually meant having separate files and includes per class, and he likes to have all code for a PHP page in a single pane in Vim. "But Kenny it's all in one file, everything I need to work on is right here!"

I still laugh about that.
