What is the benefit of using phantomJS in this case? I understand that it is very useful if content is dependant on JS running. But that doesn't seem to be the case here. With Python I would have used a parser like lxml or BeautifulSoup (an

PHP offers a lot of things that other languages provide trough the means of a framework. So I don't think it is unfair to compare it to a framework. The use of frameworks seems to be condoned. On my search for a template engine I passed by

This should not apply to such heavy weight companies, but if you're little application suddenly becomes an overnight success you will have trouble scaling it. The easiest step would be to store your static data on a commercial CDN. There is

Sadly I'm not American. I forgot to add my location, I didn't think it would be important as I doubt many of HN's readers are German, which I am. If I had the money to fly to NY, gee, that sounds both awesome and frightening. I envy people
