Objective survey of PHP vs ASP.NET vs JSP?

[David]

Anyone know of objective a survey of the development time and run-time
considerations of PHP vs. ASP.NET vs JSP? Most arguments for one
environment appear to be more on the personal level.

Thanks

P.S.

I guess I would like to see a test app given to three programmers with
1-2 years in their specific environment and see the time taken to
create the app, the quality of code, and a stress test of code.

This will hardly be objective, because the type of application makes it more
or less suitable to implement in a specific language.

What you really need to do is to make lists of the strong and weak points
for each language as a reference for future developments, so you can select
the appropriate language or mix of languages.

Sounds like you want someone to implement *your* test criteria - which would
be far from objective, now would it?

The only objective comparison I know of is
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ although it only acheives objectivity by
a lack of applicability - the test are implementations of well defined
algorithms with an emphasis on data manipulation. None of the three
languages you list are intended to address this.

Either you set out your criteria for measurement and test them for yourself
or you try to weigh up subjective analysis form whatever sources you can
find.

(and, yes, I did the work myself and decided that PHP was the best solution
for me - but it doesn't automatically follow that it's the best solution
for you)
