Why no love for PHP? 
jlsonline: Back in the day, PHP was exciting. It was free, it was powerful, it was easy to learn.  Everyone coming out of college knew C anyway and it has a similar structure.  You could suddenly give your circa 1999 web pages a page date in REAL TIME and you could respond to forms without nasty cgi-bin.  Eureka!Nobody gets excited about it anymore because it solved the problem it was aiming to solve a long, long time ago.
