Besides PHP, what other languages are there for the same purpose?

Question

Are there other options or PHP is so superior that I shouldn't even consider learning other languages for back end?

Answer 1

Some languages like PHP in web server side are ASP or JSP.

ASP increments the cost because we have to pay for the license.
JSP (Java Server Pages) is free, but proprietary by Oracle.
Perl...

Answer 2

Asp, nodejs

Answer 3

OK, but besides the cost are there advantages in using ASP?
What about JSP? What advantages/problems?
What about Perl?

Answer 4

You mean you want to write a php without using php exact language and syntax?

Do you want to write your own server language?

Trust me, it's a whole lot of stress.

You'll have to create your own compiler.
Its more complicated.

Answer 5

If you search on google you can find a lot of stuff about backend programming languages!
