I wrote my first web app in Pascal as a CGI because that was what I knew. That app turned out to become the most popular Turkish social platform for the following 25 years.
I coded that app in 3 hours. It was very crude as you can imagine. But, it did its job. If I had to start with a “better” platform that I didn’t know, I could have spent days or weeks to learn and may not have released anything in the end because I got bored.
Don’t discount a language for a certain type of application because you think it’d be harder to work with than something else. Familiarity goes a long way.
