"Double quotes" or 'single quotes'??

    Depends, I know that in theory in PHP single quotes are slightly more performant because they don't do variable interpolation, which might be relevant I guess?

    On the whole I prefer singles, but I know that's generally an aesthetic thing for me.

    In C# we use (') for char and (") for string.

    If you have the luxury of choice, use single, why bother holding shift key??

    JavaScript and php also give you freedom of choice

    @KnightsOfCode Perl also gives you the same choice as PHP I believe; double does variable interpolation where single doesn't. Not 100% on that though, they might be the same in Perl.

    Ruby: Double quotes for interpolation. Single quotes everywhere else.

    Single quotes always.

    Double quotes only for html-attributes.
