note Beatnik I actually spent the past 5 years doing some horrible Java tricks, including the whole webserver idea. I believe I know enough Java to judge it... I don't know PHP very well... I usually don't spend longer than 30 minutes looking at PHP code. I see some differences with perl and things that might be considered bad but I know too little about it to make an unbiased judgement. I hear some nice things about it, I hear some bad things about it. At the moment, with the very little I know about PHP, I'd still go for PHP in a PHP vs Java match. You can call me script addict any time soon now.<br><br>Oh, BTW.. I'm not judging Python since I don't know it... but I CAN give you an overview of <i>Things that suck about</i>(TM) COBOL<br><br> Yes, so I misspelled Python (thanks [dws]) but it was late :) <BR><BR>Greetz<BR> Beatnik<BR> <!--... Quidquid perl dictum sit, altum viditur.--> ... I'm belgian but I don't play one on TV. 280366 280514
