What programming language is good for web?

I would like to implement an algorithm which will be used from a web application. What language can I use? Is java (not javascript) a possibility? Are there other strong languages that can run complex algorithms for web based applications?

What programming language is good for web?
Yes, Java is a possibility, though you can't do CGI scripts with it because it doesn't have access to environment variables.





I personally use ASP.NET with C# and quite like it.


A more popular choice is PHP, but C# is a much stronger language compared to it.


Also Python seems to be gaining popularity as well. I have personally never used it, so I can't advise you in regards to it.
Reply:Java is a good choice for a web application when you need complex back end processing, cheap hosting can sometimes be a drama. If hosted on an intranet or you have your own servers then this is not a drama.





Make sure you pick a framework that will make your life easy, things like Tapestry, Wicket or JSF go a long way to making development faster.
