Which programming language would you use to create a social networking site, PHP, Python, or something else?

Any language is good for creating any application,

and I say that after 12 years in software development.

If you want to create a social network, here are some more important questions that you might want to focus on:

1/ “I’m making a social network in <your_favorite_language>, what is the best framework I should use?”

2/ “I’m making a social network, should I use as database a SQL database, or a noSQL one?”

3/ “I’m making a social network, should I focus on the web app first, or on the mobile app first?”

Your question about which language, is about the same as asking: “I need to drive 1000 km, should I use a petrol or diesel car?”. You know, all cars will bring you there… so that part is really up to you, you won’t find an answer anywhere.

Question?

We'd like to hear from you.
