Language wars are as silly as distro wars.

Don't use PHP like Java. Don't use Java like Perl. Don't use Perl like
C++. Don't use C++ like PHP. But by all means use all of them, maybe
even for the same system.

All languages suck, when viewed from their weak points. "namespace" in
PHP, hah. Or multi-threading in Python. Or performance in Ruby.
Importances is how you use them to bring out their best points,
together. Facebook uses the lowly PHP (with help from Cassandra),
twitter use(d) the "slow" Ruby on Rails (with help from Scala), etc.
See the Unix Philosophy's "make each program do one thing well" point.
perl is excellent for scripting and getting different programs and
languages to work together. But when you start writing baroque
applications purely in perl... ick.

P.S. The lowly Javascript (V8) beat the crap out of compiled languages
at one particular benchmark, thanks to a really good regex engine.
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/performance.php?test=regexdna
Fun to note: the 2nd best program at that benchmark is c (gcc), but it
calls tcl's (how many of you still remembers that language?) regex
engine to achieve that feat.

The duct tape programmer,

Re: [osdcmy-public] PHP vs Python

2010-04-15 Terurut Topik Boh Yap
A few points here:

@Haris, Nuhaa

better to scale down the scope, Python vs PHP FOR WEB PROGRAMMING,
would be a better directive.

But being unfair to Python?

I hardly think so. Frameworks like Django can go head to head with
Joomla anytime, Zope/Plone can scale to Wikipedia/Facebook size
anytime...

The reason why ppl start with PHP, is its easy to get started. There
are 1-click installers for Windoze users that does the whole LAMP
stack (thats why many just stick to MySQL, becos its included) and
similar for Linux.

With Python you still have to install the individual SW, yourself. And
Web programming is far from trivial you need the following:

a web server
a database engine
a templating engine
an application server (PHP, Python or equivalent framework that
handles HTML generation)
and you still have to build the business logic yourself.

So an easy installer is the 1st step.

The second step, once you know HTML, is " aha, PHP is simple, you just
embed code into the html to generate more HTML..." Good and easy for
the noob to understand, no need to understand DOM, CSS, etc... BUT it
breaks a major programming paradigm entrnched in the Unix world,
"Seperate presentation from logic, in code". So you end up wit
millions of sites built in this mess, and after it grows to a certain
size, it becomes almost impossible to change, the structure/design and
just keep patching it and a maintenance nightmare...

So we wonder why there is no adption for the new PHP5(?) which does
things in a different(better) way?

by then its like a black hole you can't escape its gravity!

 i dont mind being ugly:p. (luckily I'm quite handsome. Hahah). Anyway
 this
 argument is quite useless. It's like badminton , if I'm using 500 rm

 and LCW using rm 50 racket and we play single , everybody will know the

 art.
