These days, I am super torn about what language to use for new web projects.

PHP:

    - Easy to deploy: Upload files, done.
    - Easy to develop: Reload page, see changes.
    - Lots of HTTP tooling built in.
    - Fast.

Python:

    - Great language.
    - Great code reuse system: Modules.
    - Nice framework: Django.
    - Less breaking changes in recent years.
