Why isn't Python listed? I am quite sure it is also gaining popularity. Zope is built on Python. Even the big guys have used it for years: Google, Yahoo!, eGroups, Infoseek.

Hm, haven't heard of Infoseek for some time. Wonder if it's still alive :-)

Oops. Sorry, my intention was to REPLY to the Favorite Language poll. Instead, I pressed the POST button. Now the whole world knows I have only been using VBulletin in this forum...

I am not sure whether deleting the original post will delete the thread too. So I left it there. Will it?

i'm not trying to solicite, because i can't even sell accounts for another 2 weeks but our dedicated server will have python and zope installed on it. We recently had the python team from yahoo, visit our school and they went over alot of good crap (the guy who writes the o'reilly's python book) yahoo mail is written in it and we use zope alot ...

Sometimes I regret the current situation where PHP has practically ruled in the area of decent speed scripting language in the Unix environment. Searching for a shared web host that provides mod_perl or FastCGI/mod_python or is probably a thousand to a million times harder than one that provides PHP. Those beasts are just not suited for shared environment (But then who says mod_php is?) So that leaves running Perl/Python applications as CGI.

I do programming in all three, but now I prefer Python more and more. Alas, most projects must still be done in PHP, though, because where would we get that many Python/Perl developer nowadays...

Btw, ckizer, is your school visitor Mr. Hammond, Mr. Lutz, or someone else? Did the guys from Yahoo impress you?

I believe it was Luzt I can't remember, he was an asian gentlemen. I liked his style they knew their stuff too. I can find his business card he gave me..
