Argument seems to work. There are few, if any, IDEs for Perl and Python.
Are Perl and Python a success? yes, if you count sysadmins and Unix
housekeeping scripts. As successful as C, C++, COBOL, and Visual Basic?
Some Web consultants seem to have a worldview with heavy blinders on.
I guess, anyone who wants something like Visual Studio for web
programming is an idiot right? CLI and VI forever goes the battle cry!
Apache *IS* a standards implementation: HTTP.
Sendmail is a standards implementation: SMTP. Opps.

But atleast JSP has a spec available and comes in multiple implementations.
As a result, I can choose a highly configurable future Tomcat, or a
very fast and optimized Caucho Resin.
