I hate to start religious war, but the language does not decide
readability or maintainability of code. Code must be subject to peer
review before put in production, whether it is written in C, Perl, PHP or
Java. At one environment I worked, Java/JSP code was full of garbage.

Sure, it is _readable_ but definitely not understandable. At a different
environment, Perl was used as main language, but it was controlled and
reviewed for understandability.
