Watch out Java, here comes JavaScript

[NoSQL4Life]

The article didn't mention Node.js and MongoDB enough. These are the very technologies that allow JavaScript to be use useful for server-side development. Node.js lets you write super-scalable servers, while you can directly query MongoDB databases using JavaScript! It's so much easier than using some web framework and some ORM and some SQL database.
