I was going to start a new post but I think you covered most of the points I would have made anyway. Reading that article just irritated me, how can someone make so many factual errors in one blog post? He's never worked with Java to write a web application.

He also completely missed the point why all of those Perl++ languages became popular, and it wasn't because disk speed slow/database slow so language being slow didn't matter, it was because you can genuinely get more out the door and tune your way out of performance issues (arguably :))
