Yes ... and the world is controlled by the Illuminati ... </sarcasm> On a more serious note, I find this statement to be BS: "Their tools of choice are C, C++, and Java — not Javascript, Perl, or PHP". I'm a C person and have been for over a decade. That doesn't mean I think every problem can be solved by C. Most recently, I have fallen head over heals for Rails. I truly think that is an excellent tool for prototyping of web applications. Would I use C or C++ for this task? Absolutely not! You have to use the right tool for the job.
