Maybe I'm just crazy.

The one thing I find is that there is "switch time" my brain requires before I remember, "Hey this is PHP..." and I'm back to coding normally. Because all three languages are very different--I use Object Pascal (3 variants), C# (less, but handy), and PHP--I can't get around the syntactic and methodology differences without that time.

Soon as I get that "Oh yeah" message I'm fine though.
