Good read, and I appreciate the post. However, I had one semantic issue that bugs me here:
"Much of the Web has traditionally been created using dynamic languages, from Ajax on the client to server code written in PHP, Perl, Python and Ruby." AJAX is not a "language"! Grrr. Of course this is Lam, who works at Microsoft, so you have to forgive him I suppose. I've definitely seen Javascript rise in prominence of what I do on a daily basis. It's starting to take up more and more of my time as clients go from wanting back-end functionality to matching front-end wizardry. -Brian D.
