      <p> You wake up in the morning and you decide to build a Web Application. But that is just the beginning of a difficult decision -- what language are you going to use? </p>
<p> You wake up in the morning and decide to have toast for breakfast. But that&#39;s not all you have to decide, it&#39;s even more important to decide what you should spread on your toast. </p>
<ul><li><strong>Chocolate Spread / PHP</strong> : It&#39;s nice and easy, but it&#39;s not really proper food, is it?</li><li><strong>Strawberry Jam / Java</strong> : It all fruit! That&#39;s got to be good for you, right? But the seeds are gonna get in your teeth, and the sugar is going to rot them...</li><li><strong>Chunky Peanut Butter / Perl</strong> : It looks like you&#39;ve spread vomit over your toast, but, mmm-mmm, it tastes nice.</li><li><strong>Marmite / Lisp</strong> : You either love it or you hate it.</li><li><strong>Vegemite / Scheme</strong> : A slightly more palatable version of Marmite, but it&#39;s really hard to find in stores.</li><li><strong>Peanut Butter with Jam / Ruby</strong> : Sounds crazy. That&#39;s for kids, right? And talk about taking ages to spread. But argue all you like -- once you&#39;ve tasted it, you&#39;ll believe in it...</li></ul>
