Parlez-vous Python? What about Rails or JavaScript?
It seems interesting to me that Rails (rather than Ruby) is often listed as a language in popular publications. I guess the framework is more highly promoted than the language it's written in. Are there any other examples of cases like this in popular or "near-geek" culture?
.NET is a framework. Most devs and knowledgeable people refer to it as such. There are a number of languages such as VB.NET, C#, F# which are supported by the framework.

While not a framework per se, .NET is often termed a "language."

.NET isn't a framework?
Seems like ".NET" encompasses more than just a framework, but there is definitely something called "The .NET Framework." [1][2]
