A presentation I made which contrasts java with other dynamic languages such as python, ruby, PHP and also java based languages such as Groovy, JRuby, Jython. This is not a strictly programming oriented contrasting exercise, it instead attempts to look at it from a architects and a managers view as well.

Nice article, but it misses the #1 strength and weakness of Java as a backend language... The persistence of data structures between calls.
Java can hold a telnet connection to a back end financial system open between web requests. PHP can't (but you can build a web service to do this.) Java app servers tend to leak memory and crash because of corrupted data structures... PHP can't do that.
