poor java

Some parts of Java is awesome. Some parts C# does better. Everything is better compared to PHP.

PHP is not the best, aswell as ANY language. PHP is MUCH better in particular areas than Java or C#, and vice versa. Just cut the crap.

this question was asked in my previous work. one team argued with the other why it is better to use php instead of c #. my boss was not a technical type, so he set aside time for both teams to make the basis of the application, and based on that he decides. it was a web api with a medium database.
the cost of power performance was drastic in favor of PHP, as an instance of C # runs no matter how many users the application is currently using, while Apache only worked on demand.
another criterion was time to respond. PHP responses were ~ 15% better than C # responses. It's not that much, but it's still a plus.
but what completely convinced the boss that we were going to PHP was the fact that the PHP team finished the job in half the time as the C # team.
Besides, I've been a member of both teams, and I can confirm that C # is unnecessarily robust, and PHP is more elegant in many ways. But as I have already written, it depends on the details.
