Why? by MB http://jodhpuriguy.com/2008/08/07/php-to-python-why/#comment-29 MB Fri, 05 Sep 2008 05:57:33 +0000 http://jodhpuriguy.com/?p=56#comment-29 PHP version looks cleaner and more understandable for me. Also any person who knows all three would say the same. (Or I may be wrong due to poor variable naming) See the comparision below: PHP Perl Python Web application Good Best (ModPerl rules) Better Stand alone application Good Better Best Algorithms Good Better Best Libraries Good Best Better Speed I Good Best Best Speed II (With time and extension) Gr8 Gr8 Gr8 My simple conclusion: 1) Pick any language for any task (Even stupid task like writing desktop game programming with PHP). But Learn to write uncluttered syntax. 2) Do all the things possible with the avaliable libraries. If there isn't one you want develop yourself. 3) If speed is ok ignore all other issues. If speed is not ok extend using C/C++. Cheers, MB PHP version looks cleaner and more understandable for me.

Also any person who knows all three would say the same. (Or I may be wrong due to poor variable naming)

See the comparision below:
PHP Perl Python
Web application Good Best (ModPerl rules) Better
Stand alone application Good Better Best
Algorithms Good Better Best
Libraries Good Best Better
Speed I Good Best Best
Speed II (With time and extension) Gr8 Gr8 Gr8

My simple conclusion:

1) Pick any language for any task (Even stupid task like writing desktop game programming with PHP). But Learn to write uncluttered syntax.

2) Do all the things possible with the avaliable libraries. If there isn’t one you want develop yourself.

3) If speed is ok ignore all other issues. If speed is not ok extend using C/C++.

There are certainly too many constraints right now to actually use the service for a enterprise setup. It ain't very secure either. But I assume, google is going to provide more as with time.

Im on the wait list. The App Engine sounds good news but it comes with its restrictions, their choice of language, their choice of database and their platform and frameworks. But could be a good first step to a scalable web app. seems like someones been busy but you still managed to get the early invite. Im on the wait list.
