Well, my answer would be "Not particularly. In particular, PHP is a security nightmare; there are far better options than C++ nowadays; NoSQL stuff tends to be overhyped relative to real databases like PostgreSQL unless we have a zillion customers (and you don't or you would be giving talks at scalability conferences); and Clojure/Scala/whatever is probably better than straight Java although Java isn't actively bad. However, I'm also not going to rewrite a working stack if that's what you guys wrote it in. Revenue rules."

So, you wouldn't hire me, and that's probably a good thing.
