Evans Data Corp interviewed 400 developers world-wide and asked them to rank twelve different scripting languages that they use broken down into fifteen different categories for a deeper understanding of the languages' features and drawbacks. Developers only ranked the languages they had used, making these ratings fair and unbiased. This in-depth report features the strengths and weaknesses of the top 12 languages in use today: • Ruby • ASP.NET AJAX • Flex • Python • Cold Fusion • PHP • Action Script • XMAL • Javascript • Perl • VB Script • Tcl These languages are rated across the following categories: • Attribute Ranking • Overall Ranking • Ease of Use • Maintainability and Readability • Rapid Development • Memory Management • Cross-platform compatibility • Security • Availability of Frameworks and Libraries • Community • Performance • Availability of Tools • Quality of Tools • Ability to Develop Web Services/ SOA • Client Side Scripting This report is not to be missed. The feature set used to rank these scripting languages were based on what developers and enterprises indicate as the most important, and these have become even more important given the pervasive market adoption into much more mission critical applications. This report is available in both Professional and Enterprise versions. Please CONTACT SALES to inquire about the Enterprise version.
