>I'm not sure what you're talking about. My comment is sarcastic and abstract. A literal interpretation will not suffice to understand my meaning. If you want it literally: the language this is written in is irrelevant, because the performance differences between the various languages are negligible next to the performance differences that come about due to the precise design of the website. A poorly engineered website in a "fast" language will still be slower than a well-engineered website in a "slow" language. The actual language is completely irrelevant next to the implementation details. >Also performance has a massive effect on how and what language a site is written in. Not really. Experienced engineers understand that language is basically irrelevant for a situation like this. Whether it is written in Python or something else is irrelevant information. Additionally, newbies tend to focus on "language" and "language wars" and the comparison between languages not for any engineering or technical reason. Newbies do this because languages represent buzzwords around which various communities congregate. The Python vs. Ruby fight is as irrelevant as the Presbyterian vs. Baptist fight. It is the psychological appeal of "identity politics" that motivates people to engage in these meaningless debates about buzzwords.
