A quick follow up:
In all reality, let's say someone were to build "simple" web applications.....by which I mean...a twitter clone etc., would it really make that big of a difference if I chose Clojure or PHP vs. ROR.
Maybe I am ignorant about the nuances of these platforms, but from a birds eye view, they all look able to perform the same tasks.
- angryasian 15y agoI don't think its the language as so much the frameworks themselves. example with rails, a lot of developers use several dsl's and with each one there's a learning curve, haml, sass, coffee script, rspec, etc. I think its mainly understanding frameworks that lead to productivity
- michaelpinto 15y agoQuestion: Are you doing the programming (and thus doing the task of learn programming) or will the work be given to someone else? If you're not doing the work yourself create wireframe and/or spec of the project and talk to a few programmers. If you are doing the work yourself and getting started maybe how easy the language is to learn might be a factor. Also if you are building a Twitter clone I'm assuming that you'd also need a database -- so there might be more things to think about as well.
