Which programming language do you prefer?


Hello,

I'd to see which programming language do you prefer for web related applications/programs, and which will be highly used in the future?

1. JSP
2. ASP
3. CFM
4. CGI
5. PHP


There are more, but I just want to see the future of these five (5).
Or if there is one that you know will be popular, just post it.

If you could analyze the advantage of each, then it would be great.

I would have to say PHP all the way, CGI is a close second. ASP is buggy.

There's been a rapid growth in the use of PHP and I'm sure this'll continue on into the future.

1. PHP
2. PERL
3. JSP
4. CFM
5. ASP

I've developed with the top three and they are listed in that order out of personal preference.

Could you tell me the advantage of PHP over the others. What is so unique about PHP?

If you were to choose a language above to build your business infrastructure, would you still choose PHP over the others.

Ok..I'm convinced PHP over ASP.

How about PHP and Cold Fusion?

Also, is there anything unique about JSP that others can't do or not very flexible in doing it?

In my order of preference:
PHP
Perl
ASP
CFM

I've never used JSP so I couldn't comment on that.

PHP I find the most versatile and it's good for building quick applications that aren't resource intensive.

Perl is also a good language, but can be quite temperamental.

ASP is easy to use but unless you're using Windows it is expensive to implement.

CFM I used briefly but I never really liked it all that much. It is also expensive to implement regardless of OS.

I will admit, PHP does look like a nice programming language, but I'm a Perl guy, so I need to stick with it.

Perl, as it does everything I need it to from a product/script development and delivery standpoint. In the future I'll look at PHP in more detail.

Wouldn't it have been more beneficial to make this a Poll?
