>fight with Python and PHP on their markets?
PHP has lots of opensource web-apps: OpenX, Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, phpBB, SugarCRM, Magento eCommerce, MediaWiki you can just download and run on any hosting in couple of minutes. Every app has a community behind it. Haven't heard about anything as popular built with Rails(except Redmine).
Python - studied in Universities like MIT and can be found in any UNIX/Linux distribution. Lots of bindings and libraries(SciPy, NumPy, Twisted). Ruby bindings and libraries are far behind.
- steveklabnik 16y agoGotcha. I would agree about PHP, but not much about Python. It's true that universities are starting to get into Python, and not so much ruby, but bindings and libraries? I guess we're just trying to accomplish different things.
- lapusta 16y agoMaybe, I was evaluating Ruby for my university tasks even before Pyhon, but found a lack of good GUI and Plot/Math libraries.
