Well you see.. The most libraries/bindings (non-numeric) out there exist for these four languages. C, C++, Perl, and Python. Therefore, it would be more intelligent to use one of the 4 languages which have the most support. Its easier, more efficient, and much more maintainable. PHP might be the more popular to web designers, but the langauges I listed are what programmers know very well. I've seen some shotty web work in my time, most of which the web programmer doesn't know what he/she is doing. Especially around the security area of a program. Actually comparing Zope, an application server, is like comparing apples to oranges. You can obtain great speeds in Zope compared to PHP applications(running as a module in apache) just by reading the Zope book and following the speed up rules through the chapters.
Yes, perl is great.. I used to program in it until the developers started with the Perl6 advertisement 6 years ago:) Its sort of like the Dukem Nukem saying.. "vapourware" They had to plan 5 years before writing the code? I question what design they were coming up with, it must be really different than the perl5 syntax. I've read the Perl6 book which gave some hints on what it might look like, and wasn't very happy. It didn't say "worship me"
I don't think any serious programmer likes MySQL:) PGSQL, and sometimes firebird are the easier alternatives to use.
PHP isn't a very good langauge to write large scale applications in specifically for what you are writing. Maybe if it were written in Python, or perhaps C++. I don't hold PHP applications in high reguard because people program in the langauge without thinking.(99.9% of projects) GPLed applications are nice, because they are Free( *grin* ), but using a language which is slow and ill used means bad projects. Also, the PHP team is very foolish. I'm suprised they included the crap for code nuSOAP as a library. They obviously haven't programed with nuSOAP and don't know what they are doing. I used to program in PHP for a while, and really disliked it after using Python and Zope. Then I used Ruby to add to my learned langauges. C++ is great on the client side as well. Overall, php was hard to turn back to because of the design of php. Now I earn money by converting php apps to Python. Great for a brain strain.:/
Some of us have a shrine in a closet with a picture of all the google servers. Google is God, Google is life, Google is the all knowing. I guess you need to "log on" more, there is a religion called Googlelism. We hold meetings every sunday morning and have meetings on Wednesday./me prays to his God, Google. "Save me from the false gods!"
