I don't have much to say about the rest of your post, but it strikes me odd that you took this as an opportunity to rail against Java. The only reason he even brought it up was to further explain his point. I see nothing in the OP talking about the relative merits or problems with that language. Curious you devoted a whole paragraph to unnecessarily pointing out its flaws.

    I actually spent the past 5 years doing some horrible Java tricks, including the whole webserver idea. I believe I know enough Java to judge it... I don't know PHP very well... I usually don't spend longer than 30 minutes looking at PHP code. I see some differences with perl and things that might be considered bad but I know too little about it to make an unbiased judgement. I hear some nice things about it, I hear some bad things about it. At the moment, with the very little I know about PHP, I'd still go for PHP in a PHP vs Java match. You can call me script addict any time soon now.

    Oh, BTW.. I'm not judging Python since I don't know it... but I CAN give you an overview of Things that suck about(TM) COBOL

    Yes, so I misspelled Python (thanks dws) but it was late :)
