I agree, if you had to write in 4 languages that would be terrible. Fortunately there are frameworks like NOLOH, http://www.noloh.com http://www.noloh.com that allow you to develop in ONE language for the web, instead of the 4 you mention. Disclaimer: I'm a co-founder of NOLOH.

Being forced into 1 language (PHP) is not the answer. I find it also quite disingenuous to say "allow you to develop in ONE language for the web" when you really mean "develop in a PHP framework". Consider me seriously unimpressed.

  How do you feel about Javascript? Objective-J? Why not try using Node.js for the server and Cappuccino for the client? That's a webapp with need of only one-ish(does Javascript and Objective-J count as one language?) language.

    I've been through this discussion before on here actually: I'm not much of a JS fan and I don't think "Javascript on both sides" is an answer either.

  It is ONE language. NOLOH extends PHP, and you only develop in NOLOH. NOLOH has it's own syntax that's different than PHP. We accomplish this through the use of extensive syntactical sugars. You can read a little bit about this in our developer zone at http://dev.noloh.com http://dev.noloh.com. You don't code any HTML, JavaScript, or deal with the client as you would with any other framework, whether it's PHP or not. You only write code in NOLOH on the server and don't have to worry about anything else. In this regard it operates very much like it's own language, but to appeal to search engines we have to phrase it as a PHP Framework. Clearly our phrasing and presentation was confusing to you as I'm sure you simply took a cursory glance, rather than create a sandbox, or watch our numerous videos on our YouTube channel. This is clearly something we need to work on since most people will only take cursory glances.
