I am asking for advise on which programming language is most acceptable for the following situation.The program will act as the server in a TCP networking application, serving JavaScript clients that output to the browser, using a pre-written framework.The server program will need to be 'always-on', and be capable of dealing with JSON.My first instinct is to use PHP, because it can run the same web-server, and has pre-existing JSON and TCP functions. Is there a way to run PHP scripts on the server without needing to have a browser open to 'trigger' the script execution? - the script will have to be running for hours on end without timing out.Other languages that are considered are C#, C++, Java.Thanks in advance.
