What technologies do you think Zynga is using to make all those Flash games like Cityville?

Surely, that can't just be ActionScript and Dreamweaver, right?

The front-end may be just that (not much of a Flash programmer, not sure
the choices). However, there is clearly a server-side component, which
likely is implemented in some other languages. PHP is fairly popular for
this kind of thing, though I wouldn't be surprised to find any of: C,
C++, Python, Perl, Java, Node.js, Lua, cobol, pascal, ada, VisualBasic
(.NET), C#, or any other language really.
