I watched an "app server shootout" video on sys-con.tv the other day and the Burton Group mentioned research they had just done that showed as much as a 5X productivity increase when using a "P" language (PHP, Python, Perl) over Java. Granted this stuff is pretty tough to nail down because there are so many variables, but I assume they wouldn't publish a study like this if it was completely baseless. Unfortunately I couldn't find the report on their web site; it might be a "member's only" thing.
