I use C#, Javascript and PHP a lot. PHP always wins when it comes to deployment and productivity. In my opinion that's the power of PHP. It's also versatile.

I use C#, Javascript and PHP a lot. PHP always wins when it comes to deployment and productivity. In my opinion that's the power of PHP. It's also versatile. I used it for small projects, multi-million € projects, COM-port communication, API communication, prototyping and what not. The syntax is not great, but to me PHP is this multi-tool that just gets the job done and will run reliable for years.
