#12You should probably (if it's possible to edit) add Objective C for people doing iPhone development. Also, Actionscript/ Flash might be nice to include since it would be interesting to see how its usage compares to Javascript.

#14I'm using PHP because it's quick, and I know it. After things (hopefully) get going, I hope to migrate over to Python + Django.
Not to be a jerk but once you get going. You wont end up switching to python+django. It'll stay php because you'll be focusing on other things like maintaining the existing code and adding functionality.
If you, at one point, want to go with python, i suggest doing that now.

#17Where is Lisp? I think it would still be a popular choice.

#18I decided early on when I built Appleseed that I wanted it to be a commodity platform, so I went with a very basic LAMP stack. I'm even shying away from PHP 5.3 because so many hosts still don't support it.
It hasn't always been easy, but part of the way I see distributed open-source social networking catching on is by encouraging communities to set up their own social networks (churches, schools, niche communities, etc.), and the best way to make that happen is to make it as easy and streamlined as possible.
Overall, it hasn't been terrible. Once I built a solid MVC framework and plugged in some good libraries (I cannot say enough good things about simple_html_dom), I was able to forget about the language, and focus on the logic, which is where I'm happiest.

#19The choice of language and framework often seems like a big one, but how often do people regret their decision? If you do, what was your choice and what's wrong with it?
I suspect most people don't care in the end.

#20I'd love to see a follow-up on this poll about which frameworks are used with each language. E.g. jQuery or prototype for JavaScript? Cake or Zend for PHP?
