Hi!
Dunno about Chad, but I would have implemented it in Perl, of course. With perhaps bison and Inline::* where needed.
Do I have still time to suggest ObjectPerlthonasskelisp++#.net?
Anyway, languages/environments used by bigger web shops:
PHP (Yahoo, Wikipedia!!!) Python (parts of Google?) Java (um, around) ColdFusion (MySpace :-)
Perl (Slashdot)
Don't forget where the term "the slashdot effect" originated.
Amazon has SOA with stuff around implemented in nearly all languages... Quite nice approach is Mono with different languages inside (like.. Python engine by Microsoft ;-) As for personal preferences, I'd run away from Perl (did drop it 5 years ago), and use Python (with psyco \o/ )
Python makes my eyes bleed. I'd be much happier with Perl -- ESPECIALLY for anything involving regexen. Holy mudder o' gob, but Python's regex syntax is a fork in the eye, comparable in heinousness to PHP's.
