"If you're building a business you want something approaching an industry standard, because the more people working on and with a technology, the more developers you have available to hire, and the more tools they have to help them work faster." If you honestly care about that (which is BS btw) then Drupal, RoRails and Django are non-starters. You have one choice, Java. Is RoR really all that used/popular (esp outside of startups)? I'm gainfully employed as a Django dev and my industry, news companies(oka newspapers), is dominated by Django. So, I'm probably sample biased. Still, I see lots of Django usage, I see Django jobs, I see Python being much bigger than Ruby.
