	Overall your list is fair, and you're right that more languages could 
be considered.  However, you also argued elsewhere in this thread that 
Go had an unpythonic design so we shouldn't put too much weight on what 
it does.  Given that, I think it's fair to add that, in my opinion, 
JavaScript and PHP are abysmally designed languages, so we should put 
little weight on any precedent they set.

	What would be nice is to know how much people like these various 
languages, and how productive people are with these languages, and then 
correlate that with their various features.  However, as discussed on 
another thread, getting hard data about such matters is not easy.
