quoting to ar8ro poy soy dinw (why php over jsp):

"JSP is a relatively new technology and still has clear market
immaturities in terms of tools, support resources and available
talent."...Because JSP is based on Java, a strongly typed language, we
had to declare the types of variables we used and manually convert
between types when necessary. This makes JSP the hardest of the
scripting languages we tested for nonprogrammers to learn..."

Ta basika epixeirhmata einai ayto (ahem) kai to oti efoswn h php mporei
na fwna3ei servlet h com, alla einai pio elastikh apo jsp einai
