Hi everyone,
I’m planning to build a freelancing platform similar to Upwork or Fiverr, and I’m a bit confused about which programming language to choose.
Some people suggest PHP because of ready-made Freelancer clone scripts, while others recommend Node.js or Python for better scalability and modern features.
My goal is to launch a stable platform with essential features like job posting, bidding, messaging, and payments. I also want something that can scale later.
From your experience, which language would be more practical for this kind of project? And what factors should I consider before deciding?
Thanks in advance!
