I usually prototype visual things or web-frontend things in actionscript, standalone or back-end in java. But right now I'm working on a web-app in Haxe (targeting PHP)

#33I think that the languages used by people who voted for "Other" are the most interesting to see in this context. Could you please post what language you're using in your project if you use a language that is not listed? I use Erlang.
Me too

This may be an "unpopular" view, but if you need a simple, no nonsense, well supported language, tailored for web use with no big gotchas and you are not facing any particularly exquisite engineering problems.... PHP is often a no brainer.
(it's kinda the Perl of web development)

#39I think as startups grow, they tend to end up with something of a frankenstein-ish mix of languages as they write bits that are well suited to each language. For us I ended up checking C++, Java, Javascript, Perl and Ruby, though we have little bits also in Python, Scala and PHP as well.
As a sidenote, we track which programming languages our webservices customers are using and I made a graph of such here:

I'm working on a map maker for role playing games (http://geodeist.com). The Java interop is a pleasure. I don't have to worry about portability.
No framework because I couldn't find anything suitable.
