How good and popular is Python in backend? Also, what are the other languages famous for this? Can you share some stats?

Question

I'd love to know about this thing from an experienced programmer but on the Internet I find random guys speaking non sense. Some don't even have proper knowledge of programming.

Answer 1

Speaking as a random guy, you basically have four main options for your backend:
- PHP - the old guy, reliable and effective
- JavaScript - very capable frameworks for both frontend and backend, actually
- Ruby - and its RubyOnRails framework, easy and fast-typing thanks to a rich handful of libraries
- Python - and its most popular framework Django or other, more light-weight ones like Flask, Falcon or Bottle
