> If you know both languages, which one would you pick? The one with the best density of good developers in your hiring region if the application ends up scaling. > Alternatively: what would you suggest someone getting into web development to learn? PHP or Ruby? Neither. I would tell them to get into the Javascript ecosystem - not because I think it's necessarily good, but because that's where most of the work is. I'd also reccomend picking up at least one other general purpose language to be a bit more rounded such as Golang, Java, C#, Python.
