Ask HN: What should I build an iOS API in?

The system will be a CRUD back end for an iOS app, later offering a web app, then otehr clients, etc. I'm outsourcing it, so the choice of language/appserver will be up to the lucky (!) programmer.

Will be RESTful with JSON data exchange. Linux on EC2.

Other than that - what would you say would be the best route for:

- Low system overhead - Fast performance - Low resource usage - Scalability to multiple appservers (eventually)

Ruby on Rails? Pyton / Django? PHP on a framework?

Or doesn't it matter?
