Of all of the ones I (mkanat) have used, I'm most in favor of Ruby ''as a language'', because I think it'd be the fastest to write code in and it seems well-designed for writing large applications. That doesn't necessarily mean it has the best frameworks or libraries available. | |||
In addition to looking at the languages themselves, we should also investigate various tookits available for the languages that would make our development easier. For example, Python has Pylons and lots of other frameworks, and Ruby has Rails and Nitro. If one particular language has a framework that would be perfect for us, that could swing the decision. | In addition to looking at the languages themselves, we should also investigate various tookits available for the languages that would make our development easier.
