I still haven't found a language that lets me get a very basic website up and running faster than PHP.

I don't care too much for the syntax but if you just want to put up a simple page with server-side logic in as quick a time as possible then its as good as most.

Have you tried Node.js with Express and Handlebars (express and hbs packages)? It’s dead easy and fast to develop.
