Thanks dkersten! I'll check out Python. What do you think of PHP? Some folks were suggesting that, but I haven't yet checked it out.

- twymer 16y agoIf the ideas you hope to prototype live on the web, this is a reasonable choice. However, I don't recommend using PHP as a general programming language. Python kind of works for everything, if you want to do web dev you can pick up Django, plenty of GUI libraries and it works on all platforms easily.

- dkersten 16y agoThis is pretty much what I would have said if I'd checked the comments sooner. PHP works well enough for a web language, but if you want to do anything else, its not so great. Python works, IMHO, equally well for web, desktop GUI, shell scripts etc.
