hello people, i have been reading posts on this group for quite some time now and many, if not all (actually not all!), seem quite interesting. i plan to build an application, a network based application that i estimate (and seriously hope) would get as many as 100, 000 hits a day (hehe,...my dad always told me to 'AIM HIGH' ;0), not some 'facebook' or anything like it, its mainly for a financial transactions which gets pretty busy... so my question is this would anyone have anything that would make python a little less of a serious candidate (cos it already is) and the options may be to use some other languages (maybe java, C (oh God))...i am into a bit of php and building API's in php would not be the hard part, what i am concerned about is scalability and efficiency, well, as far as the 'core' is concerned.
would python be able to manage giving me a solid 'core' and will i be able to use python provide any API i would like to implement?... im sorry if my subject was not as clear as probably should be!. i guess this should be the best place to ask this sort of thing, hope im so right.
