"there is a successful website written in X" does not mean that it is deemed appropriate or acceptable to use whatever you like. Anybody who has started a new project from scratch as a professional at a company can tell you it absolutely does matter what language one chooses, and if you opt for something non-standard or for whatever other reason deemed unsuitable, you will be corrected.

PHP, Ruby, Python and JS and their popular libraries or frameworks are standard for web dev, though.
