I am about to start developing a relatively simple bidding web app with a heavy usage of server side. I have experience with Django but I got a strange taste as Django makes you do the thing in a single way (sometimes finding that way was hard) as well I am not so familiar with Python.

On the other hand I am comfortable with Ruby but rails also look quite overkill. So remaining options are Nodejs which looks promising but I am not so sure what can it offer comparing to the other framework. And finally the old php.

What framework/language should I use? and can you give me an example which one do you use in which project?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

    
It is better if you ask a specific question on Stackoverflow that has a specific answer, rather than asking for opinions on the various merits of technologies. There are better places to have that kind of discussion. –  Paul Byrne 17 hours ago
