> I downvoted you because there is no "right" stack. All popular languages have good web frameworks. The right one to launch with is the one your team knows the best.
Surely there are more appropriate stacks for specific problem domains? Like how using R outside of data analysis is probably weird, or writing your microcontroller code in nodejs is probably a bad idea.
The law of the hammer exists, and if your tasks requires a screwdriver and all you have is a hammer it will be more challenging than need be.
You're correct but I was talking about language selection in the context of web development. There are, of course, specific domains that have language requirements.
