Really, I wouldn't worry about making the "wrong choice". I can identify with this, and I think its a reflection of perfectionism, which is not a good trait to have especially when you want to make something new. It takes years to master a language/web dev framework, and considering the pace at which web dev is moving these days, your mastery will be incomplete and slightly outdated by that time anyways. The point is, thats not the goal you should have in mind anyways. You can start from scratch with a new web framework and start being productive in a week, two weeks tops. After that, just use it for your projects and allow the experience of those projects to help you learn more about the framework/language.
