There has been a lot of talk about different languages for web apps. I decided to make a fun project for myself and re-create my personal blog manager in several different languages to try and get a great feel for what is out there. Right now my only experience in the last 6 years is with PHP and Perl. So far I have been strictly a web programmer and am very happy with that. Here is the list I have managed to gather from recent plug threads, but correct me if I'm wrong on any of them and please recommend more:
Ruby on Rails Perl Catalyst JSF Lisp Python Spyce SASH D (not sure this really is for web apps, but I've heard intersting things about the language in general) .-----------------------------------. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `-----------------------------------'
