I want to create a fast and light weight web application. Could you please tell me which language is best for this type of work. For example, websites like online Plagiarism checker.

What I have tried:

I have searched for languages and coders but I am confused which to choose, like Javascript React or other...

You could use PHP: PHP Manual - Manual[^], or ASP.NET | Open-source web framework for .NET[^].

And you will also need HTML Tutorial[^], CSS Tutorial[^] and probably some JavaScript Tutorial[^].

Or maybe The Python Tutorial — Python 3.10.4 documentation[^] and Welcome to Flask — Flask Documentation (2.0.x)[^] would be quicker.

Much depends on your skills and ability.

The obvious answer is learn html and Javascript.
W3Schools Online Web Tutorials[^]
if html and Javascript are enough for static sites, you need more languages on server side for any dynamic sites.
If you need databases, SQL is almost mandatory.
PHP to generate pages dynamically on server side.
ASP and Node.js are other possibilities.
And there is more languages depending on your needs.
W3Schools Online Web Tutorials[^] and click on Tutorials, then see the list under 'Server Side'

Hello @Richard MacCutchan @Patrice T

Thank you for sharing your views but I asked which languages would be the best for creating fast and light weight apps. I know that HTML, CSS and PHP are required but which one work faster while creating these apps.

It doesn't matter. HTML/CSS both get sent to the client to render the page.

Any server-side language will do. What's more important are your techniques and algorithms while writing the code.

You cannot predict which one will work faster than the others as it depends on the efficiency of the code. And that depends very much on the skills of the developer.

Okay! I think we have to try all languages, then only we can predict it.
Richard MacCutchan 16-Jun-22 4:06am    
No, you can never predict it. You can only use code and test to find which is fastest. But the actual difference will most likely be in the range of nanoseconds and so not measurable. Don't waste time on such a (largely pointless) exercise; choose a language and framework and get on with the actual development.
Thank you dave kreskowiak for sharing your views.

@OriginalGriff why you deleted my question " https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/5337242/Can-I-get-a-direct-download-link-to-mega-nz-file " . What's wrong in this question.
