Which programming language suits web critical application development?
- by jcyang
According to this page,it seems that Perl,PHP,Python is 50 times slower than C/C++/Java.
Thus,I think Perl,PHP,Python could not handle critical application(such as 100 million user,xx million request every second) well.But exceptions are exist,e.g. facebook(it is said facebook is written with PHP entirely),wikipeida.Moreover,I heard google use Python extensively.
So why?Is it the faster hardware fill the big speed gap between C/C++/Java and Perl/PHP/Python?
thanks.
