5) It scalability is a joke. I've worked as a Java contractor at a number of places and what a PERL/PHP/Python solution can get done in 5 boxes, it takes Java 30-40 boxes. This is NOT an exagerration.
I wonder why Twitter is moving their Ruby codebase to Java and Facebook is building a JVM backend of their PHP compiler . |

For fun, it seems. Facebook also built a PyPy backend[1], and even their own VM[2].
