Hi Guys,
For most apps that we here in NZ would deal with, PHP works fast enough. Two
things can affect this:
1. Use a PHP accelerator that caches the compiled PHP - so you still have the
convenience of a scripting language, with the speed of a compiled one.
Having used Delphi to
I think you're probably using tools like:

Well, ultimately anyone writing (emitting) HTML is using tools *exactly*
like that.
The question is, what tool do you use to create the code that ends up
emitting it, if you don't emit it directly yourself ?

There are many techniques but a simple one is using something like

I am surprised no-one has mentioned Python + a framework such as Django.
When I switched to web dev, Python/Django and C#/asp.net mvc were the 2
finalists. I went with C# simply due to the ease of getting developers.
Don't use Delphi, it's entirely the wrong tool.

1.2 PHP
1.3 Java

1.5 Ruby
1.6 CFML (ColdFusion)
1.7 ASP.NET
1.8 Other
So I guess these are the major players.

As Gary points out Google Frame can sit inside IE - of virtually any

So we settled on focussing, when we needed to know the browser in
