The publicly-editable Ajax Frameworks Page got a nice kick along in the past few days, presumably due to a recent link from Ajaxian. If this list is anything to go by, the most common language is pure-Javascript, and Java is, as you might have guessed, highest on the server-side, followed by .Net and PHP. Sections for Python and Perl were opened up during this time. Thanks for your contributions!
