PHP vs. Java Commentary from Raible
Filed under: Uncategorized. Tags: development.
Here’s a quick link to a discussion of PHP vs. Java. Sure, that’s much like a discussion of Coke vs. Pepsi, or Mr. T vs. Hulk Hogan, but some interesting points are raised. Note, though, that Raible is a hard-core Java guy, but many of the comments come from hard-core PHP folks.
I think that although it is popular to rant about which language is better, the factors boil down to development time and software execution time. Although over-simplified to some degree, if quickexecution of code is vital, Java would in general be better suited, however, if this was not a factor because of a bigger bottle neck, such as database access, PHP would be the tool of choice due to its ability to be written far quicker.
