You brought forward some excellent points. However I would beg to differ on the productivity front, especially in developing server side code. A decent Java developer backed by a good set of utilities can be extremely productive in any circumstances. I admit, the verbosity is bothersome at times, but again a good set of utilities is what does the trick for me.

Indeed a nice blog. Well one needs to intermix different languages with different strengths – an approach Neal Ford refers to as Polyglot Programming. Choosing a development platform is never a simple choice, particularly since it usually is more of a social choice than a technological choice.
