Ask HN: Can I get some suggestions on web languages?
I've been thinking about which would be the lightest language for the web that's also not as painful to use.
I'm planning on starting a project for the company I work for and I've already settled on MongoDB for the database system but I'm spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a language.
Any suggestions?
- mathgladiator 16y agoFor fun, I would go with Ruby For team consistency, I would go with Python For ease of building a prototype, I would go with PHP For scalability in human capital, I would go with either .NET or Java
- jwdunne 16y agoI'll have to check out Ruby then. I'm bored of PHP (I use it all the time at work) and I want a new adventure. Much appreciated!
- GeneralMaximus 16y agoI believe you can find plenty of PHP programmers out there. Your average PHP programmer is no better or no worse than your average Java or .NET programmer. Also, us Python folk like to have fun too :)
