Great comment, untog!

Getting something up & running is more important that everything else put together (except maybe determining what that something is.)

It's hard enough to get from "thought" to "thing" without worry about all the details. For an MVP, almost any technology can do almost anything you need. So just do it.

Although not ideal, you can always refactor, rewrite, rearchitect, or redeploy. But unless you have a time machine, you can't go back and do it again. So listen to untog and use what you already know.




I can't remember where I read it, maybe even HN, but I'm regularly reminded of this quote:

"Never use a new language for the first time for a project you love or that's important to you - you'll end up hating both the language and the project."
