Chatroom, what programming language to use?

[Nero]

I am in the midst of posting a project for a custom chatroom but don't know what programming language I should ask them to do it in...... What programming languages would be good for a custom chatroom? Thanks guys.

Any of them? Most work you'll get down will either be php, asp.net, or ruby though.

I prefer a java chatroom myself

Java is good, but sometimes bloated and slow. I've seen some GREAT examples of chatrooms made with PHP, MySQL and AJAX (all together).

If you want to log the information, then I suggest PHP/MySQL/AJAX (AJAX for auto-refresh and auto-post, etc.)

php/mysql/ajax is a nice way to go about it, but ive seen a couple nice java and flash ones!

My chatroom is built in php with an ajax front end.
It works very nicely. I can give you some pointers if you are having problems
