Web language? I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Pretty sure they mean server side language.

I think you're right, Matthew, but it needs to be more clearly stated, especially since this thing started with Python, PHP, Ruby and Other. That "Other" covers a lot of big players even if they aren't sexy.

... and anyway, who cares? It's not like these polls have _any_ validity.

I find it helpful to see what other people are using so I can either guide myself towards what I should learn next or know that I'm on a track that's going to be supported for the foreseeable future.

The main 3? You're actually missing ASP .NET which is quite popular (in fact, isn't it 2nd place in popularity to server side languages?) .. Please add this, otherwise you'll be getting A LOT of 'Other' votes

I wouldn't call ASP.NET a 'language'. Framework yes, language no.
