: PHP vs Python
I've been spending a bit of time playing with Python, and comparing its main contender (IMHO) PHP.
This is still early on in the evaluation process, but so far:
( Geeks may be interested )
In conclusion (so far) I think PHP is the better language for web pages, and Python is better for general purpose programming.
PHP has the fastest load time of any of the web app languages I've tried, by several orders of magnitude in some cases. This is important for web stuff.
Delphi whips them both for sheer productivity and ease of use, but is not cross platform (and commercial to boot, although there are free 'Personal' version out there)
