@e "it's not the scripting language, it's the db" really is the weakest argument ever when it comes to this topic. So you're saying that we need to start getting rid of databases so that we can reduce the system resource requirements for running a server that handles "type shit in, other people see it" back to what they were in the 1990s? Is that your big contention? Because that's a really bad contention.

Okay so I'll give you -3% on my final grade for failing to explicitly mention databases in your soy bloatware stack. Final grade: 97% or A+.

In conclusion, these tools do not improve performance or productivity because the system requirements yardstick for "type shit in, other people see it" and variants was established in the 1990s and is significantly less than what you can get for a $5/mo VPS.
