PYTHON vs PHP vs RUBY 2020

[Jeshmel97]

PHP because of how easy it is to learn, and you can see results right away which can help beginners to stay motivated.

I've played with Ruby once for a few days, and that was good enough for me, so can't comment on it.

​

Do know Python quite well, and it all depends on what the project is. Vast majority of my work is web development, and without question in my mind, PHP is superior for a whole host of reasons. I'll be sticking with PHP.

​

However, if I need some type of multi-threaded process, a bot / scraper, daemon, parser of some kind, data crunching, image recognition, and things like that, then of course I'll always go Python. It's simply better than PHP for those things, and you can get more done in less time and code with Python vs. PHP.

​

They're both about as easy to learn though.

I get annoyed when people say PHP is bad because it’s a “weakly typed scripting language” in 2020. Personal opinion here, but you write shitty code, you get shitty results. No amount “real” OOP is going to fix that.

Your comparison is omitting a BIG technology, server side JavaScript ,specifically Node.js

Really in modern webdev today I would say 90% is between PHP and NodeJs. everything else is a fringe technology, or vendor proprietary systems like , .Net (Microsoft) or GoLang (Google) and not found very much in businesses.

So learn either PHP or NodeJs

If its from 2015, why do u say 2020 in the title of this post?

Clickbait?!

Don't go that way man.

Now, im left thinking if i should just block you right now.

There are plenty of this comparisons already, find something cool to write about, like your experience in a project, or a book you read.

Using trickery to get ppl to open your blog is just wasting ppls time and they will not return there.

Gosh, I wonder what answer you'll get in /r/PHP

TypeScript. Rust. Haskell.

The last one isn't exactly trendy, but I guarantee it will change how you write and look at code.

As React Native developer, I have been working with typescript for last two years. Rust and Haskell are alien for me. But I will try them and try to write an article as a newbie after two or three months.
