Question

If I would like to quickly set up a modern website, what programming language + framework has best support for this? E.g. short and easy to understand code for a beginner and a framework with support for modern features. Disregard my current knowledge, I'm more interested in the capacity of web programming languages and frameworks.

Some requirements:
ORM. A framework that has good database support and provide ORM or maybe a NoSQL-database.
Good support for RESTful WebServices.
Good support for testing and unit testing, to make sure the site is working as planned.
Preferably a site that is ready to scale with an increasing number of users.

Explanation / Answer

Rails (obviously!)

Has Restful URIS, ORM with Active Record, Webservices - easy, unit tests come as standard. Can scale just fine (v3 is better at this).

And Ruby is a real beginner friendly language, although the meta-programming aspect of it that can trip beginners up. Worth being wary of that.
