Right, so if you have to decide on a server-side language for a distributed Linux-based server backend, would you choose:
PHP
Mono ASP.net
Java
As a C++ programmer, I'm thinking Java+Tomcat, but I'd love to hear experienced thoughts here, especially relating to debugging and IDE (likely Eclipse).
Also, please, it's not a flame question. I'm seeing excellent sites written in all, I'm just thinking about the compile/debug/release cycle.
Cheers,
