Ask HN: Best tech for a web site 2018? (PHP, Rails, Django, Node, Go, etc.)?

Back in the day, PHP was a great tool for getting a site up quickly. Then Ruby on Rails took off in 2006 and took the lead. It was the "batteries included" of web frameworks. You could build a CRUD app very quickly. Many other language frameworks followed and evolved.

It is almost 2018. What do you think is the best tech for a web app these days?

Here are some features I could quickly think of:

  * basic HTTP handling
  * good security
  * i18n/translation
  * ORM/persistence system
  * a built-in user/authentication system
  * a built-in admin UI
  * a migration system for db schema changes
  * easy REST (gRPC, etc) API construction
  * good form/model validation
  * a type system for the language
  * websocket support

I am interested in hearing the HN opinions on this. What do you think?
