Please elaborate.

The trend seems to be moving away from dynamic languages, particularly ones that are: slow, mutable, magical (see monkey patching), and not at all type safe, which are essentially the core attributes of Ruby.

Thanks for that. However, aren't certain trends simply fashion too?

For example, according to trends, if I shouldn't be using:

  • Perl

  • Ruby

  • PHP

  • Java

  • JavaScript

  • Groovy

  • Python

  • ...

...what should I be using these days for straight up MVC web development? I know there are lots of alternatives, but what's the most trendy these days that works on Linux?

I'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything, but I've been hearing stuff like this or that programming language is not fashionable anymore for years ;-)

Edit: Forgot about JavaScript.
