Re: More buzz wanted

My question is where is all the buzz, "what's hot", especially for web
apps?
mySql + PHP, Python + Zope, Ruby on Rails. A Prolog dialect? Something
else?

I think PHP already is the most used language for web development. And
it just seem to become more and more used every week. Just look at the
number of hosting providers that supports PHP. Apprently it is possible
to host PHP applications at a very low cost. Development using PHP is
also rather easy (compared to Java anyway).

I am also speculating in that we rather soon will see a Apache module
for server side JavaScript. It seem to be rather obvious that
JavaScript is the main language for the client side of web
applications. It is a problem that a web developer need to use one
language for the client-side and one for the server-side. Switching to
JavaScript on the server-side would eliminate that problem.
