> If scalability and speed is a problem, congratulations, you're a success.

I can not emphasize this enough. A lot of solutions are absolutely good enough for a startup's needs. You obviously don't want something completely throw away, but too much concern over tools & performance is kind of like a premature optimization for your whole business.

Right. Just finding something that you can build on (and get started yesterday) with the team you have. Of course, it doesn't hurt to pick from one of the top 10 languages so that, if you do succeed, you have a talent pool to pull from.

But this is definitely a case of the perfect being the enemy of the good.
