Python or PHP?

Question

Freelance

Good day. Help a beginner decide. At the moment I am studying django, but looking at projects on exchanges, I am becoming more and more convinced that no one needs django juniors on freelance. Is it worth continuing to delve into the study, or, before it's too late, start daring PHP?

Answer 1

if you need money quickly - php
if you need it all the time - python
you need to understand where you see yourself in a year. Look at any features other than the web: for example, the current "machine learning", "mobile development", etc. - Java will be everywhere, and Python will be almost everywhere. And Python is not always worse than Java. About PHP in such topics, perhaps, they heard. Simply put - Python is a pass to the world of "adult" languages.
Although, I agree, for form-slapping, PHP fits perfectly and there is a lot of work with legacy code.

Answer 2

In my opinion, you can earn about the same on python and php, depending on the skill level. However, there is much more work in PHP. I poked myself back and forth, chose php for deeper study, and, although I am at the very beginning, I can already earn my own food on freelance. With a python, I would hardly have been able to find any orders. I heard authoritative opinions that having studied any language (for example, PHP) at a very good level, you can transfer to another one (for example, Python) very quickly.
In general, I do not quite agree with the previous answer. Rather - if you need freelance - PHP. If the option is being considered to get into the office and upgrade there, then Python.

Django is a framework, not a PL.

Answer 4

The question is incorrect. It is necessary to write at least "Django or Symfony".
