Ask HN: Web app to store user's profiles

I've created a web app for our company that stores a profile for our contracted employees. The profile stores address, phone, email, shirt size, preferred positions, etc. The original app was built in Rails but I'd like to try a different language to build the new one. Any suggestions? Cheers!

Boring/right answer - the language other employees know and can support when you get hit by a bus?

  There isn't any other employees that know any bit of coding. We're a small business

    In that case: python/flask, python/pylons, rust/iron, js/node, ...

      I was just looking into js/node. Seems like thats what I'll end up using.

        Meteor is based on Node, and is reactive with sweet plugins for accounts and database stuff. I can imagine the default templating engine would be helpful for your task too.
