The Java environment is the same, with multiple languages supported on the JVM, namely Groovy, and my personal favorite, Scala.

XML and JSON should be grouped together.

The article combined Javascript and JSON, but they aren't really the same. Javascript is the programming, JSON is the data.

JSON is JavaScript Object Notation, a data representation language that is much less complex than XML. Developers are migrating to it because it doesn't take as many resources to parse a JSON object, compared to XML. If you are dealing with millions of messages, you can save a lot of CPU time with JSON.

You can easily convert JSON to XML, but not necessarily the other way around. But even when they represent the same data, they are just two ways to express it.

Knowing Java isn’t just knowing about the language (ditto with PERL), it’s knowing all of the packages out there. You have to know about things like Apache Commons or Spring, so you don’t wind up reinventing the wheel.

PHP is amateurville. I can’t imagine a first rate pro website being written in it.

PHP is used on a vast majority of web sites (that require server side programming). I remember reading recently from a Alexa ranking that the of the top million web sites, nearly 80% use PHP.

Check out the Laravel framework. It will guarantee its popularity (and growth) of PHP for the foreseeable future.

Every language has it's quirks.

Correct. They are Content Management Systems (CMS) written in PHP.

Where is the C+ I used to see every once in a while in HR-written job descriptions.

“Must know C/C+/C++...” LOL always got a kick out of those.

It's the poor workman who blames his tools. ;^})

Yahoo!, Facebook and Wikipedia are just three sites using PHP. Then, there's LinkedIn and WordPress.com.

There are a number of MVC frameworks supporting PHP including CakePHP and CodeIgniter.

My thoughts exactly. If there is such a high demand for code, the consultant firms who can farm out the projects will get the work.
