I've been working with classes that are executed both within webpages 
and as cron jobs (cli).  For this, I am pretty happy with PHP as a 
scripting language, especially when coupled with a database that 
supports stored procedures and triggers (like PostgreSQL).

As for pure application programming though, I try to do most everything 
in python.  I stay away from GUI applications, as that is not really my 
forte, so no experience working with phpGTK.

So what is everyone else around here doing in this regard?
