Also feel free to drop in any fun full stack JS frameworks. Anyone using MeteorJS these days?

    Without any other parameters, people can only suggest their personal pick. Is there something in particular you're looking to build? How's your Ruby and Python?

      Nothing specific :). Was debating a small MVP and deciding what to do it in.

        However, from a marketable skills POV I believe that outside of NorCal, there are more Python jobs out there than Ruby. Would other folks agree with that?

          Depends on where you live sometimes - in this case python != django, may as well be different languages. Any dev worth their salt can flip between python and ruby, but django and rails require specific talent - I do believe there are more rails devs out there in most cities.

    I used meteorjs for a project. It's nice for the specific things it's designed for, but bigger projects quickly get to the point where meteor becomes a bit of a nuisance.

    Most of company here is using Rails for this type of work. I've been a Python guy for sometime. Whenever I try to pick-up Ruby it makes me want to hit my face into the wall. Unsure of why that dynamic exists :-p. I suppose I'll stick w/ Django for now, and when I hand it off to the team they can build it in Rails if they want.
