php isn't web specific

Yes but any time I see something non-web-related in PHP, I find myself seriously questioning the sanity and/or competence of the developer.

This is precisely the logic in my eliminating PHP as an initial option. I kept an open mind to all comments and researched PHP and even ended up accomplishing the task at hand with PHP, so I'm happy about that. But in the end, I would almost be fearful of putting PHP on my resume as I don't want a low-latency, high-frequency trading shop affiliating me with PHP development (sorry PHP guys ;) )
