Hey folks, just out of curiosity, I felt like asking the people here who work with server-side code, "What language are you using?"

I use PHP, myself. Haven't been at it very long, but I've pretty much been at it non-stop. Still learning, but am aiming to get my first PHP-based game working fairly soon.

I've messed around with PHP and ASP.Net. Mainly boring corporate projects though. I find ASP.Net better for that type of thing because Visual Studio makes setting up page layouts much easier.

C# FTW (as if you had to ask 8) ;) )

I programmed some stuff for university in python. Worked quite well. Have only done very simple stuff with PHP.

How do you use C# to make web pages?

ASP.Net code-behind pages can be written in VB.Net or C#, probably in the other .Net languages too.

Cool, I must look into this someday.

I've done php. ruby on rails, java, clojure/compojure, ruby with sinatra/datamapper and C#/asp.net.

Php isn't fun to work in anymore, it does very little work for you and the language isn't so nice. There are so many better alternatives these days.

Ruby on Rails is great but there are many gotcha cases, a huge library and processes to learn.

compojure is simple and light weight. It's my go to framework for web apps but if you don't like functional programming then it's not for you.

Sinatra/datamapper is like a barebones version of RoR, it handles databases very easily and you can setup your own page routing. Before I moved onto compjure I was using this.

Java works very well (jboss/memcache/hibernate). It's a bit verbose and quite a bit to learn like RoR but without the gotchas.

I worked on some client's code for C#/asp.net and their frameworks were pretty crappy and not intuitive, I'm unsure if this is the fault of asp.net or the client's code but I didn't bother to find out.

I haven't heard of most of those. However, I am restricted in what I can load on the servers at work.

I'm doing more PHP recently, but that's mainly because of the work I'm doing here with MediaWiki and phpBB.

.Net can be rapid and helpful, but I've never liked the database handling. Sometimes it's blissfullly easy and other times it fights you all the way. I went back to one of my web apps recently and discovered that the SQL server hosting the database had been removed. >:( I created a new database with a better structure on another server, but the XSDs, Table Adaptors and all the other junk where such a pain to adjust that I ended up writing a couple of functions to let me fire raw SQL strings at the DB and things are much simpler now.
