>>38-39
I don't feel like writing 10000 lines of code I can do in 100 of Python or PHP when I want a script, a web application, or a quick hack. Yet I'm willing to afford 5-20 times longer development time for a 10 times faster application millions will use. It's just a matter of time:
- Count development time
- Count execution time of all of its users together
If the first is longer than the second, go for scripting languages, unless you need it to be fast for a good reason. If the second is longer than the first, go for C, unless you don't care if it's slow for a good reason.
It's a matter of the right tool for the right job, and IMO the right tool for a web browser,
