Well, take the big players like amazon or ebay, most of their system is
written in JAVA. The scripting stuff has its place (e.g. quick feedback,
cheap availability on web-hosters), but for bigger things most of the
time I would refer to static typed languages. Analyzing and refactoring
(especially bad encapsulated + modularized codebases, which
unfortunately you find often) with dynamic typing and without
compiler-help can be a real pain.
If the team isn't experienced in good testing habits (unit + integration
tests), scripting languages would even be a shootout for me.
Anyway, nowadays it is more about integrating and encapsulating
technologies (and the HTTP protocol has done a big good job here :).
Discussions that a system must completey be implemented in JAVA, PHP
only doesn't face reality at all.
Reading things like your bosses 'none' and reducing all problems on the
technology is always a great amusement again... Maybe you mention on one
of your power point slides: 'a fool with a tool is still a fool' ;)
I cannot think of bigger T5-apps, but I am sure this will change in
future (e.g. Wicket and Tapestry really offer a complete different
encapsulated way to build web-applications).
Good luck in convincing your boss.

Hello,
just want to share a piece of corporate mind set with you.
My boss decided that none of the Java frameworks is productive in comparison
to PHP, Ruby and Django and that there are no web sites written in any Java
framework. Can you believe that? I would like to prove him wrong with
Tapestry Cayenne combo. Unfortunately I have no list of T5 success stories.
I am sorry for spamming, but I had to let the steam out!
