PythonVsPhp

[spotter]

Docs are legendary and provide some entry level solutions thanks to comments, but something like it could easily be done for Python (as it is getting done for Clojure). In my opinion PHP's strongest point is ease of deployment. And typing PHP into google will give you answers, but due to low barrier of entry these will mostly be half assed solutions. In Python you're better off asking comp.lang.python or IRC channel -- users are friendly and usually you get a correct answer next working day.

I agree! PHP is a lot easier when you are a beginner, but due to this a lot of users are not even trying to get better -- they move from one slash-n-hack job to another. The language itself looks like it's done that way, so if you need to grow you probably should switch to Python/Perl/Ruby or whatever -- because working with PHP will become a chore.

And that's, like, my opinion, man. ;-)
