No-one has mentioned Python. Yet.

I'm leaving Delphi for Python. My reason is that Delphi is too complex
after years of very clever hacks and brilliant compiler technology which
leaves the rest in the dust. Actually, the real reason is that it has no
garbage collection. Please don't mention .NET becoming Delphi's garbage
collector because .NET isn't cross-platform.

I started with PHP and found it's object model has been cobbled
together. It is better than Perl's object approach but not as good as
Delphi.

But Python - aaaaaahhh!

Python let's me dream of totally open source, totally cross-platform web
and thin/rich GUI apps based on client-server or embedded Firebird
databases.

There is mod_python for Apache and heaps of really interesting
developments out there. Did you know the Twisted Framework is Python? I
know of VOIP stuff developed in Python. Bit Torrent is Python too. You
can't get a job with Google unless you are a Python guru. Python is
probably the least known best language for web work.
