[General] Ruby vs. PHP

[Majed B.]

Hello Bashar,

This comparison might be a good technical point of view to pick a
framework: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_application_frameworks

In all my projects, I disregard internationalization, since I assume
that all my targeted users know English. And most of my web-based
projects have very simple interface, even non-English users can easily
familiarize with.

I believe that every language should be used for the right reasons &
the right project. So far, I found no use for Java :p~

I use PHP for web-based backend, frontend & command-line projects.
Though the code can get easily messy, it's very quick to mash-up a
project with PHP, without an IDE.
I write my code using kwrite (a text editor).

Perhaps an aspect no well thought or sought by framework developers is
caching. For sites with big hits, I see caching as the major
contributor to performance enhancement, especially for PHP-based
sites, since PHP is an interpreter-based language. (Yes, there exist a
compiler for it, but I haven't seen widespread usage for those)
