<p>Developing in java is, in my opinion, a huge liability.</p>
<p>Nothing to do with the language itself, just that you have to deal with issues between openjdk, oracle and potentially ibm's java. If you pick one, whatever version you are on will soon be out of date and broken in new versions.</p>
<p>I also wouldnt associate the word "performance" with java. Sure, you can write performant code (as you can in any language) - ive just not seen it that often.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That Ruby isn't on the list is interesting.</p>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: monospace,monospace;">Java because its faster and more memory efficient than interpreted languages like Perl.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: monospace,monospace;">PHP because Facebook uses it and you can easily outsource development to India.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: monospace,monospace;">.Net because, well, its obviously the industry standard.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: monospace,monospace;">Python because its got all the data bindings you could possible want, and data is important -- BIG DATA -- right?<br /><br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: monospace,monospace;">I've opted for Python as the lesser of the various evils.</div>
