Javascript is everywhere!  When I started writing javascript, its usage on the web was called "DHTML", and used mostly to decorate mouse cursors.  Modern javascript support has changed all of that.  I've written large backends in node.js, elaborate canvas image editors, html5 games, mobile apps, as well as many web applications, all in Javascript.

I started writing Rails back at version 1.0, and have run it in production since.  During my many years using Rails for both tiny and huge projects, I've seen all sorts of quirks, problems, fixes, and breakthroughs.

While I started out with Ruby for use with Rails, Ruby quickly earned a special place in my heart in its own right, with its expressive syntax and cohesive semantics.  I've written many ruby applications, usually related to web or network services of some sort.

I've used Clojure to make game simulations and various web services.  I'm the author of the Hashids library for Clojure.

I've written haskell for small projects, as a way to become more familiar with formalized functional programming.
