hate to admit it, but perl took a hammering in terms of the completeness of solutions thing, maybe the most important metric. see the charts on page 13.
You might see it that seperating the code from the html takes a little longer, but gives you a better architecture. I wonder how it would work it if thise apps needed to be maintained and evolved over several years. even so, it's a bit disappointing. On 6/20/07, Alvar Freude <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I submitted a story on slashdot (text see below), perhaps they will take it. Others may do the same, or submit something similar on other websites. Ciao Alvar Text of my /. submission: (Hmmm, it would be better if I mentioned the Free University of Berlin as author of the study, sounds better ;-) ) The <a href="http://www.plat-forms.org/2007/documents/platformsTR.pdf";>results and final report</a> of the <a href="http://www.plat-forms.org/";>Plat_Forms</a> international web programming contest were published today. For each of the categories Perl, PHP and Java, three teams of three people each competed to produce a comprehensive "social networking" application in just 30 hours. <strong>A short summary of the results:</strong> The Perl teams produced the most compact code and their solutions are very easy to extend. One Java team produced by far the most complete solution overall, the other two by far the most incomplete ones. The Java solutions are very hard to extend. The PHP teams used no autogenerated files, resisted SQL injection attempts and created the most similar solutions. There are also some <a href="http://alvar.a-blast.org/plat_forms/";>pictures of the teams</a> and you can guess what language they are using ... -- ** Alvar C.H.
