Hey guys,

I would like to start a project and I am concerning what kind of programming language/web framework to use. There is not that much logic involved. It's about a community-page with a lot of users(not that much at the beginning but I would like to be ready to welcome a lot), that should be able to communicate through private messages and a forum and there will be a lot of content (news, articles) to consume. I also want to provide several authorization settings to provide some content for only specific people. In fact it's about a content management system, but I want to design it functionally myself. And I want to use some external APIs.

The only website I can think of with almost similar functionality is pokerstrategy.com. I looked up their job offers and it seems like they use java and php

Maybe you guys can give me your thoughts. What would you use to encounter that requirements and how would you apprach?

Thank you
