Question: Are you doing the programming (and thus doing the task of learn programming) or will the work be given to someone else? If you're not doing the work yourself create wireframe and/or spec of the project and talk to a few programmers. If you are doing the work yourself and getting started maybe how easy the language is to learn might be a factor. Also if you are building a Twitter clone I'm assuming that you'd also need a database -- so there might be more things to think about as well.
