James Anderson writes (in his response to the article): The really
simple answer is that after the release of php 5, php became the
better language...
I wasn't aware that PHP was the cool language. I thought the "cool"
language was Ruby.
Personally, I tend not to be a fan of the "cool" language because it
means you either pay an arm and a leg for programmers, or you pay to
train someone on your project so they can charge an arm and a leg for
other projects.
Java has it's place, I like it for cross platform development, but for a
website you don't need a cross platform CGI language, you just need a
language which runs on your server.
I think Java is getting hit on two sides. On the webside, Ruby is now
the "cool" langauge that everyone wants to program in so they can charge
lots of money, while for graphical apps Flash is becoming the cross
platform tool of choice.
