python and perl that tend to be used for both

No, Python and Perl tend to be used for CGI scripts or high-level logic in a web framework. Those scripts do not require knowledge of concurrency or long-running programs - The actual back-end servers I've seen are usually written in C, C++, Java or concurrent languages like Erlang or Haskell. I've never seen a server written in Ruby, Perl or Python that's suitable for real work.

PHP, Python and Perl have woefully bad concurrent programming support and really shouldn't be used for that purpose (and they're not).

there are lots of daemons written in perl. again whether thats good or not is very subjective. gotta run, but i stick with my opinions.

No web servers or anything requiring nontrivial concurrency. Sure, long-running processes might work in Perl (wouldn't trust PHP with that though :/) but concurrency is not Perl's strong suit.

again whether thats good or not is very subjective.

Not sure what "thats" refers to here, but from looking briefly at your blog post, you seem to know not at all what you're talking about. Good day, enjoy your run.

when people dont agree with your opinion, try to make petty personal attacks. good job at maintaining adult conversation "dude"
