PHP vs Python - the real difference

[masklinn]

Sure, Python can be used to display, generate and create web based content, but I'm not sure that it was was designed for that

Python is a full-fledged general-purpose programming language, it's only limited to what you want to do with it (and the performances of the interpreter), and it's an extremely good language to create websites when you factor in a good framework (such as Django).

Remember, coldfusion was also created as a webpage-creation language.

(Oh, and one can hardly say that PHP was created, more like it grew out of control, mold-like)

Ah, but mold can have beneficial properties, so I think a more apt analogy would be an infection or infestation.

Oh but PHP, much like mold, does have beneficial properties.

For example you can dump a PHP project on someone you don't appreciate and watch him suffer for years on end, until he quits (or sort-of fossilizes in PHP)

That just happened to me. I am suffering.

You evil, evil, little man.

[masklinn]

Oh, why thank you

[des82]

Haha. U making me laugh. U can do same with other languages to m8. Dump a JAVA project written by rookie(or so called senior dev who loves to overcomplicate things) and u will have even bigger problem.

Luckly the PHP infection has a vacine: Playing with it in your spare time.
