"Sun has Java Microsoft has C# It would be pretty logical that google would like to control something that is comparable to sun and microsoft's bigtime server languages. Python has moderately fast bytecode (google stuff could improve a lot here)" http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/12/22/1832226&threshol...

"Java's been the darling of big-company web development for a while now. But it falls flat in one critical area: time-to market. Upstart web platforms like Ruby on Rails have shown that you can use your development time - the most critical resource - much more effectively and put out applications in weeks that might otherwise have taken months or years." http://perens.sourcelabs.com/articles/2005/12/07/bruce-peren...

"van Rossum: Absolutely. If you're talking about Java in particular, Python is about the best fit you can get amongst all the other languages. Yet the funny thing is, from a language point of view, JavaScript has a lot in common with Python, but it is sort of a restricted subset. The real disadvantage that JavaScript has at the moment is that it is so confined to its original target platform, inside browsers." http://www.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/frank/rossum_1099.html

"Just helps confirm what most knew already; - In most cases Python beats PHP hands down for speed and memory usage - PHP is a bit better when it comes to lines of code."

"As mentioned earlier, Python is great for Computer Science tasks. Google is primarily a Computer Science heaven for PhD's." http://phplens.com/phpeverywhere/?q=node/view/185

"Linux.Mare is a worm that spreads by exploiting the PHP-Nuke "phpbb_root_path" Arbitrary File Inclusion vulnerability. The worm opens a back door and downloads and executes remote files on the compromised computer" http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=107883
