One great engineer I worked with, he did many years in PHP. At work, we use mostly c++. He quickly learned a lot of it, though he's not an expert, he can get the tasks done. I wouldn't personally like to work with PHP (my first language...), but I don't see the problem with that, if you do great work. Personally, I think that Python, javascript, and c++ are popular enough that they are solid choices. Afterwards, it's a question on if you're making a choice for yourself, for the project, or to work with others. In any case, if you have some sense, you can learn given some time. And I think if you're working on a personal project, you probably just want to see it grow. So, have fun. I'm sure you can re-write the prototype later.
