I want to develop an application similar to an imageboard and I'm looking for the right tools to do this.
I first tried rails, but when going through the tutorial I found out that the specific version of rails required for the tutorial had some errors compiling something during install on my raspberry pi (which is where I want to run it).
I remember wanting to try out rails when it first came out, and was discouraged for similar reasons. Today it's not sorted out still. I'd rather use a different frame work.
php works everywhere but it's a terrible language and it's easy to lose the oversight of what you are doing.
So i'm looking for something that is simple, reliable and runs everywhere. A framework that is actively being used and developed. It shouldn't take a lot of work to learn, preferably. It should be fairly easy to create nice-looking applications.
It should have some kind of object-relational mapping (or some other kind of convenient data storage?). A templating system like HAML would be a big plus.
I'm family with python, ruby, and javascript. A framework based on these languages might be convenient, but there are so many of them, that I don't have any idea which one to choose. I thought I'd ask before getting too much into any one of them.
