Other people would say the same about writing PHP instead of a mix.

However, there can be value in two programming languages in the same

named pipes, and other equally ugly workarounds).

It did; for example, “PDO [shipped] with PHP 5.1”, “[r]eleased: 24 Nov
2005”, which is not that hard to find out:
