Language churn

Technology evolves at such a fast pace that it is hard to catch up. Over the years I had paid scant attention to presentation layer languages that are used to develop web applications. Lately they have become more powerful than ever witnessed by all those snazzy web sites with dynamic web content written using JSP, servlets, flash etc.

So I spent some time this week reading up and trying out some JSP code. In the process of digging up some online JSP resources, I read an article where Marc Andressen (ex poster boy for the world wide web of Netscape fame) says JSP is less richer and useful than PHP. Now I've got to add another language to the list that I need to acquaint myself with.
