[coding] Making Websites

I've probably already gone on about how I hate making website, and what I think of the right-brained lunatics who do this for a living.  But now I have to do it, so its time to step up.  Naturally, I'd like to start by going over all of the existing web technologies:


  • Java applet:  no
  • flash:  gay
  • silverlight:  fuck no, and fuck microsoft, and fuck netflix for using it
  • php:  I hope not
  • perl: over my dead body
  • python:  lovely little language, but I just can't stomach semantic whitespace
  • .NET (VB or C#) - no, microsoft tech still sucks. There are rumors of them supporting linux for real soon, but I can't imagine a company who is not microsoft actually using this bullshit
So..I guess its going to be Javascript[jquery?]/Html5/CSS on the frontend and either ruby or java on the backend.  Maybe this is why I procrastinate so much;  java containers are super expensive (and suck, in the case of Heroku) and ruby typically means ruby on rails which means code generation, which is a poor design.  However, if I limit the backend to just providing APIs that the javascript app calls, then we might be ok.
