Re: Live from the 2007 pyCon in Dallas, Texas

Anyone can code up a simple PHP system in an afternoon. It literally requires no understanding of software design. MySQL has also made it easy to be loose in development, which abets quick development.

This is not to say there are no professional PHP developers, but systems like Java and Python require much more study and practice, and are inherently designed for building long lived, interoperable software.

Python doesn't have the user base that Java has, so it is harder to find developers to develop and support Python applications.

Some would say a system should be about the interfaces and data formats, rather than the programming language.

What would be interesting is a map of available free/open solutions, library re-use, and how they can inter-operate.
