Yeah, it made me smile when a non-technical friend had narrowed down the choice of languages for the project he wanted to build.

"Python, Java or <something else>" Python and Java are relatively opposite ends of the web dev spectrum, and he didn't code so it was likely based on rants from the programmers around him.

In the end his project failed because he couldn't find any Django devs to continue the project for a relatively low wage. He might have found some PHP devs if he had chosen that.
