There isn't a language specifically geared to doing AJAX stuff (AJAX is usually Javascript anyway). There are a lot of frameworks out there that might make it easier to _generate_ AJAX code and/or work with specific AJAX libraries like Prototype, Scriptaculous, Dojo, etc. Some of the better frameworks: Ruby on Rails: based on Ruby; comes with Prototype and helpers to work with it. Ive found the Ruby folks to be very helpful - the Rails list is a very high volume list! Very nice framework. Symfony: PHP5 object-based; comes with Prototype and helpers; there is a Dojo plugin; Yahoo used this framework to develop their new bookmarks service (http://beta.bookmarks.yahoo.com/); Im using this at work currently and have found it fairly easy to use. If you like Python, you might want to check out Django or TurboGears (I dont know much about them since I dont know Python but they have receieved a lot of positive press). -- A -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
