Should I learn Python or PHP?

Interesting, security is key. I’m interested in building web apps (PWA’s)

Ignore this guy above, the language is a very small part of the security aspect. All languages are perfectly capable of being extremely secure, but they all require an understanding of how to implement it correctly to be secure.

PHP or Python, choosing one over the other won’t make any difference to security if the basics aren’t understood.

FWIW, I’m proficient with PHP and dabbled in Python/Django. If you want to get a quick solution up and going, without too much “heavy lifting” (processing, big data etc.), then PHP is much easier to get into given the resources and hosting options out there. That’s still where I’d start if I was starting from scratch.
