Depends on your definition of "not so long ago" - it's certainly most of the history of the web. The point when Perl, PHP, and Java started to become the dominant web app technologies is about as far from the present day as that point was from the moon landing.

The moon landing was 1968, 26 years before PHP was created in 1994. And that was just 28 years ago.

Oops, math checks out. I’m old.
