Title: Why are most Bitcoin related websites written in python? Post by: ComboChris on December 17, 2014, 09:31:35 AM I'm planning to help coding a bitcoin related website and I'm currently learning javascript & PHP.
I chose to not learn python, because I thought it was harder to learn and there was less stuff to find online. But whenever i browse on this forum it seems, that most bitcoin related websites are actually made in python. Is there a particular reason for this or is it just personal preference? Would you advise me to switch and rather concentrate on python? Title: Re: Why are most Bitcoin related websites written in python?

Anyway, I agree with @newIndia, most of the Bitcoin site I see was written in PHP. Well, SimpleMachineForum (this forums) is written in PHP too.

It could be a little hard to develop your own bitcoin client in php. But you may use json rpc to connect to running bitcoid server.
