At the same time, if I simply had stuck with what I knew over the years I'd still be doing old ASP...i'd be more miffed as an investor if you had a great idea but killed it because you did it in vbscript just because that is what you knew, or if you chose something that would cost a lot more to scale, thus requiring greater investment just to see a return.

Agree totally... it's important to ask these sorts of questions early...

What about performance and scalability? Doesn't python (with psyco and soon, unladen swallow) win big here? When you choose a platform, it's important to choose one that won't limit you when you start having users on a large scale...
