Just learned Google, Amazon, etc are using script languages

I started CS with C++ and tried to keep my knowledge/skills in it even about two years ago.

Then I learned that many new emerging giants like Google, Amazon, etc are using PHP, PERL, Python, Ruby as the main languages. Therefore I shifted to these scripting languages.

It takes roughly 1/3 of the efforts for these languages compared to C++/Java. In PHP, PERL, Python, you can totally forget about memory management, variable declaration, etc.

The costs are too high for any companies hiring pure C++ these days.
