I have been programming in PHP for several years now, but I also have experience working in other languages such as java, C ++, C #, etc. I think that PHP is a good language for web development, but I really miss some functions from other languages, basically that PHP is weakly typed, and real (operational) overloading is impossible. So now I'm looking for an alternative. I already tried asp.net (C # mvc) and I really liked this language, but it is only windows, and I need a language that can work on Linux based systems.
Do you have any suggestions? I want to:
- strongly typed language
- good mysql support
- function overload (preferably even operator overload)
- Oop
- useful for web development
