While its true that hardware resources like cloud hosting, RAM, CPU, etc. cost money but its also true that programmers cost money too! The wise ones try to figure it out by working out which factor is more costlier given their individual circumstances (type of project, locality and cost of living, average engineer salary, etc.) and based on the anecdotal evidence, it seems Python and PHP are doing a better job of convincing these startups that they are the more cost effective overall.
I will start believing otherwise when I will see large platforms like Quora, Reddit, Tildes, Dev.TO, etc. rewriting their code in Java and moving away from the interpreted languages. Why isn't any major open source platform or software like Wordpress, Drupal, Django, Flask, Laravel, etc. written in Java (with the sole exception of spring-boot)?
