Okay, so you want to build a web application. I think you are making this more complicated than it needs to be.
You don't need to get too exotic. While these choices are important, they shouldn't be a point of paralysis. You wouldn't be making a bad decision to go the route of Python or Ruby on the Lamp side. Otherwise you could look at .NET, but that's not an area I know a lot about.
Perhaps your best bet is to find your technical cofounder and let this person make the decision based on his/her strengths.
- HSO 16y agoSo you're saying the back-end is still basically the same as it was a few years ago and stable?

You won't find as many people suggest PHP, but much of Facebook runs on PHP (though this is a case where the company now wishes it could have a "do over" on that one.)
