Among the dynamic languages, the real alternative to Java isn't Python but...Common Lisp. As for an example commercial site, how about Yahoo!Store. Is that robust and commercial enough. For more info, see http://www.paulgraham.com/articles.html . Also, check out CL-HTTP, which is used by, among others, the US White House. I don't suppose there is anyone at UP EE/CS (or anywhere in the Philippines for that matter) teaching Lisp or Scheme (using the Abelson & Sussman text), is there. Any Lisp programmers here?
