Neil McAllister raises questions regarding Web development skills in an era of constant innovation. Sure, low barriers to entry give underdog technologies ample opportunity to thrive without the backing of name-brand vendors. But doesn't this fragmentation of the Web development market put undue pressure on developers to specialize? The result is a crisis, McAllister concludes, one in which maintaining a marketable skill set and hiring for a particular Web project gets more difficult as the state of the art changes on an almost daily basis.

Agreed - I'd add Haskell to the list of languages you mentioned too.

It was late and I knew there was another language besides Lisp that I wanted to add, but for the life of me, at that brain-dead hour, I couldn't think of it.

Definitely, Haskell is on my list of languages to look for in a resume.
