CGI IS NOT A LANGUAGE!

CGI is an *interface*. You can write CGI programs in C, PHP, perl, python, pascal, ksh, GW-BASIC, lisp, procmail, Mathematica, assembly language, Haskell, or even postscript if you're feeling masochistic.

Personally, I prefer to use C.

cperciva,

Thanks for the clarification.

And actually ASP and PHP aren't technically languages either.

But I just didn't think people would understand what I meant if I asked, "What interface do you use?"

;)

ASP is a framework, not a language. You use VBScript or JScript to write ASP applications.
PHP is a framework and a language.

I would suggest you remove ASP and CGI and add VBScript, Perl and C. You will get more accurate votes ;)

There are also ColdFusion and JSP, they are both common too.

I agree that I should have included those as well, and they would perhaps make up the bulk of the "Other" category.

Why not just close this thread and start another?

I'm still a little new around here and don't really know how to close it (or if I even have the power to).

Also I was initially wondering between ASP and PHP which were used more, and most of the votes so far have been for those two categories. And so far out of 8 votes cast there haven't been any for the Other category.

hehe, i just went through a semester of java - the language isn't bad at all, it's just the concepts that they teach you and test you on... i understand teaching concepts like arrays, 2d arrays, vectors, maxtrix, etc etc... however, i don't know why they teach us heaps, BST, DFS, BFS, etc etc... maybe once I need to make a really huge project with a bunch of classes; however, I'm fine with just using the simple data structures that I've been taught in c++.

oh and for developing scripts/programs for the web, i prefer php but since i just finished learning java, im sure i won't mine using jsp ;)
