I'm really curious for the purpose of this question. Are you trying to find the most popular language of choice among HN hackers that have their own startup? Shouldn't you at least mention "and what does your startup do"? Or at this point, "startup" is automatically assumed to be a "webapp"? My startup specializes in bringing other people's ideas into life. Most of our clients are also startups. Depending on their needs, we use Ruby on Rails, PHP, Java, Objective C/Cocoa, or C++. For my other startup, which is a webapp, I use Ruby on Rails.
