Don't Perl and PHP both predate Java? By quite a bit in Perl's case.

- pmontra 6y agoThe rise in popularity can happen later than the creation of a language, see Python (1991). In my case I left Java for Ruby for web programming in 2006 because working with Rails was infinitely easier than working with Structs. I didn't even know that Ruby was a programming language before Rails.
