Thank you for your response. From my experience, you're very right about resources to learn Python being very beginner-friendly. I believe I can build the prototype faster in Python, so that's what I'll do. I don't care

In the essay, "The 18 Mistakes That Kill Startups" at http://www.paulgraham.com/startupmistakes.html , PG mentions single founder as #1 in the list. I am searching for a co-founder for two main reasons; startups a
