CoffeeFiend Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Neither - seriously! (Besides, scripting PHP for a living? No thanks!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phkninja Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Both have their benefits. Python seems to have more libraries to allow low level programming where as php seems to have more web development functionality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 As in webpages? PHP.Stay away from Python. It has very little tolerance of errors (most annoying 'feature' - whitespace is significant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Stay away from Python. It has very little tolerance of errors (most annoying 'feature' - whitespace is significant)Yet, you seemingly have no problems with the worst "language" (and I use that term loosely) that is PHP which has countless major issues.Let's put it that way, I'd basically use ANYTHING before PHP.And PHP scripting jobs are typically low paying jobs (not that I'd take the job even if it paid - I'd switch fields before that).It's popular as php hosting is dirt cheap any easy enough that any clueless n00b can write some dirty hack job, but that's the only thing going for it. Other than that, it's god awful - a real atrocity in every aspect.I'll take anything over PHP, be it Python, Perl, Ruby, C#, VB.Net, Java, C++, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBHoenig Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 PHP for me - but I don't know much Python. I do like what I do know about it, though, so my bias for php probably comes from that fact that I am fluent in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#rootworm Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 ASP all the way. crahak was exactly right. if you're curious what will be reliable and secure, just see what the big boys use...it isn't PHP.http://www.asp.net/getstarted/default.aspx?

CoffeeFiend Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 and according to me it is the BestLikely you've never used any real programming language, because you wouldn't be saying that... PHP is the worst "programming" language I've EVER seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHP is the worst "programming" language I've EVER seen.It's not a programming language, it's a scripting language.As this was in the Web Development section and PHP is in the forum name, I recommended PHP; not to mention I haven't seen Python being used for serverside scripting (Perl definitely.)

CoffeeFiend Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 It's not a programming language, it's a scripting language.Hence the quotes aroung "programming". Enough with the nitpicking...As this was in the Web Development section and PHP is in the forum name, I recommended PHP; not to mention I haven't seen Python being used for serverside scripting (Perl definitely.)Python is used too. Everybody using Django, or TurboGears, or Zope, Plone, etc is using Python.It's used by countless sites such as Google (part of their spider and search engine and other projects), yahoo (maps and others), and countless such "nobodies".PHP is pretty much the only language I will not use. There's some apps that have been written in PHP which are worth using (forums for the most part) despite the poor language choice, but other than that... It's better avoided IMO.
