[asterisk-biz] Preferred language for Asterisk AGIs development ?

[Alex Balashov]

Nir,

Why would you go with PHP in light of
the scalability issues associated with
individual invocation vs. FastAGI?

Seems like something easily daemonisable
like Perl or Java would be a much better
runtime environment for doing AGI as a service.
