Whenever someone asked me what language or framework they should use to build their project, my default answer is "whatever you are familiar with". The honest truth is that for the vast majority of applications I have seen, the risk is in building the wrong thing or getting wrapped around an axle trying to figure new technology out, not choosing an old boring technology that won't scale.
And even then, your odds of handling scaling issues with things you're familiar with are a lot better than with new things.
