What would you recommend as a starting language to build a MVP? The extent of my experience is html/css, manipulating wordpress php files, and a weekend hacking together a couple of learning projects (a PHP blogging platform and a "rank this list of items by number of upvotes/this number" website).
Given my past experience I was planning to use PHP as it is the only language I have any experience with and while the functionality I'm shooting for is totally different, I don't envision it being any more difficult to code than the blogging platform. I will be interacting with a database.
Are the other options as easy to pick up as PHP? Is it as easy to google for help?

- onli 15y agoI'd say that using Ruby with Sinatra is really easy to pick up - the documentation of Ruby itself is great and Sinatra is also documented really well, not that i think it's particularly complicated. Use an easy template-engine or stick with the default (erb) and (at least for the beginning) the sqlite-gem. Of course, that was my impression given my prior knowledge, which of course influenced my start with that environment. But i found it to be great almost instantly.
