My primary language is always PHP ..and a year ago I've started do some
coding in Ruby

I've done PHP for :
- portals
- processing incoming SMS via php cli
- using framework

Python..in other way..I  use it for Symbian S60 application..I like the
language...but too litle time to invest

My language of choice
PHP ~ ultra large userbase, C style programming, easy to pickup, faster to
deploy
PyThon ~ human readable language
