Answer 1

There is no definitive answer. However, I would choose a light solution, like Python or Rails, over Java or ColdFusion.

You may want to investigate C# ASP.NET + Silverlight combo. Microsoft made it highly integrated, which is double-edged sword. But in many cases this helps.

You may also want to review existing solutions / applications / startups. Don't ditch PHP up front, there are many existing components for it. And don't overestimate the impact of server-side technology choice on success.

This does do exactly what I'd expect when I try to run it from the command line. #...
