I'm thinking of one day moving to Japan and I was wondering if anyone here has any experience working there.

I'm curious as to what languages/technology are popular there for web development and software development.

I have heard Ruby is/was strong there due to its founder being Japanese.

What would you recommend someone focus on if they wanted to work as a developer in Japan?

I have heard Microsoft has a strong base in Japan, but my guess is that whatever platform has supported unicode or Shift-JIS the best would be the strongest.
