you are right !

PHP totally slipped my mind... but My point was the "New" ones :D I would not advise anyone to learn PHP nowadays... to much trouble for to learn an old language, it's still in use I agree but has too many problems solved by those 3.

Java Web is a pain I work with it and takes a lot of time to master and be able to code anything useful in it... would never recommend it for a web Startup. Ok, maybe for a webbroker I would :D

I disagree with your stance on PHP. It is not an "old" language (in fact, it's younger than both Java and Python), and while some programmers seem to have a problem with it, most of the criticism is exaggerated in my opinion. Personally I like both Python and PHP, but in terms of getting something simple up and running quickly, nothing beats PHP (and yes, the thing that you get up and running is actually very maintainable).
