      http://regulargeek.com/2010/12/11/9-programming-languages-to-watch-in-2011/

      For web dev one needs to understand the whole stack:

      - some back end language: I recommend looking into scala, clojure, F#, erlang besides your 3, which are all terrific languages

      - database design and tuning (SQL relational and otherwise)

      - javascript/CSS and at least) compatibility matrix for IE, firefox and chrome

      - reasonably proficient at linux admin: SSH, iptables, tools like nagios,
