title: JSP or RUBY/PHP?
body: <p>At my technologies crossroads and would like to hear some words of wisdom or tales of caution. I am on the verge of assembling a development team and all things are set save my controller layer - which way should I proceed..? I personally am an experienced Java programmer and would certainly never even consider ASP (ever) but, would certainly consider Apache with PHP or Ruby.</p>
  
  <p>Considerations:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Development timeline of 6 month (so speed is key)</li>
  <li>Heavy data processes (VERY HEAVY)</li>
  <li>Heavy media experience</li>
  <li>Potential parallel usage by thousands users</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Your thoughts on the pros and cons of server scripting vs interpreted coding would be very much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!!</p>
