To all, First of all: apologies for this non-jquery related question, but since there are many experts in web-development on this list, I dare to ask it anyway.
Our company is looking for a way for 'quick' web-development. Small webapps consisting of a few webpages with some minimal database interaction. We currently develop everything in Java (including webapps), but I find the whole cycle of developing, compiling (java class files, EJBs etc), deploying, JNDI setup, db resource setup and recompilation (of the jsps) too heavy. Additionally, for applications with a limited number of users (50 would be a huge userbase in this case), I think that a clustered multitier application server (our current deployment platform) is waaaayyyy too complex. I would like to propose a (any?) scripting language as alternative. Without making a choice for any language, I am looking for arguments why a dynamic scripting language in general would be better. Of course, I am also interested in language characteristics. I know PHP pretty well, but the other languages are, from a technical point of view, unknown to me. If you feel that this is too off-topic to reply to the list, please reply to my personal address!!!
