I think he is simply wrong in his interpretation of the facts. The number of 
websites powered by PHP vastly exceeds Java and every other language

Says it all!

But you would never use PHP for a distributed application, and then 
http://www.langpop.com/ comes into play when the fight is between Java and C/C++

that chart as well.
