I don't know much of either languages, but what would be better for writing applications that deals with the following. Right now, I use PHP, but I'm looking to see what would be the next ideal language to dig into, if the needs arise.
- MySQL
- off-line data processing of CSV, XML, etc. files
- web applications (dynamic websites)
I understand that this could quite possibly be subjective.. so if you could just pitch in some pros and cons, that would be superb. TIA!
