"Convenient" language for SOAP client/server?

Question

SOAP

Good day
Who has any thoughts about a "convenient" language for writing a SOAP client and server? You can ignore the C# and Java options - everything is clear with them. And what about other languages: Ruby, Erlang and other exotics?

Answer 1

it is convenient only where there is normal support for autoconfiguration based on WSDL, otherwise write in Bash+curl. In PHP it is more tolerable to work with SOAP, for Ruby there are good implementations of Soap clients, I'm not sure about servers, but I think it's no worse than in PHP. In a word, everything rests on the support of WSDL standards, etc. There is no sense from SOAP without it at all.
In general, if you write both the client and the server, can it be easier to take REST?
