Languages that are cool/hip/popular here will win. Odd that Golang was left out with it fitting that criteria... but I still stand by the assertion :)

"Go" is in the list. Perhaps you just missed it?

Edit: I see, based on other comments, that Go wasn't part of the original lineup.

PHP. It may be old, tricky to debug, and cumbersome to write long projects with but the ability to bounce in and out of logic on a simple, proven, well adopted stack that has plenty of knowledge-base and ready machines everywhere has it's advantages. Plus, I've heard a lot of developers knock PHP but I've yet to see a problem solved with Ruby or Python that couldn't have been solved with PHP.
