Jeremy Zawodny steps up to the plate in defense of Web Developers, once again.  Writing a good application no matter waht is going to be demanding, it\'s just easier to roll something/anything out using php+javascript than with a \"real\" programming language.  In effect, what I see is that php / javascript programming has a much lower bar, so inexperienced programmers can put out very funcitonal prototypes quickly.  In a way, the languages make it possible to ignore some demands like documentation, clean design of the API, separation of business logic from the display code, maintainability, and designing for future flexibility/improvements.
