title: Scripting Languages vs. Compiled Languages for web development
body: <p>Though I come from a purely PHP background on the web development side of programming, I have also spent much time with C# and C++ on the desktop.</p>
  
  <p>I don't really want to spark any flame wars, but:</p>
  
  <p><strong>When should you use scripting languages over compiled languages for website development?</strong><br>
  (and vice versa)</p>
  
  <p>Just to clarify, for the sake of this question, I define a "scripting language" to mean an interpreted language like PHP, Python, or Ruby, and a "compiled language" to mean a strongly typed, compiled language like C#, C++, Java, or VB.</p>
