Ask HN: Learning Web Development, where should I start?

I recently came across this article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=123903 and this was posted almost 7 years ago.Most people here suggest Perl/Ruby/Python.

I have recently started to learn MEAN stack, and I don't know if I am on the right track.

What is the best combination of frameworks/languages that you can use for webD, as of today?
