It seems like its an evolving thing -- maybe like car design... there is language design also. All of them bring new things to the table, and the good ideas are then debated by designers and copied into other languages. Languages get popular because of the people who use them. PHP ruled because it was easy to use and had a ton of tutorials - with a huge userbase to answer any question. I'm not sure why people knock C++, its ugly but its fast. Obj-C is popular, just less popular than c++ (I think? Perhaps there are just easier ways to create apps for *nix and windows than Obj-C). I'm not sure about anything Java. Javascript was an exception, IMO, because... they had a monopoly on being the only language that lets u modify webpage content programmatically. |

I have a very dim memory of Microsoft attempting to push VBscript but I can't recall ever having even seen it run anywhere.
