Hi

I already have experience in developing websites using java technologies ...

Now i have a task to develop another website and i have the liberty to select technology to built.

I dont want to built using Java/J2ee standard technology as i want to learn new language.

The specification about website i can give is that:

1) its a real estate based site.

2) so it will have a db of real estate data around million records

3) website will have more than 1000 hits /day and will have various functionality like search, add , delete,generate reports etc. So i mean UI should be good and fast.

Technologies i have in mind .NEt( i have already worked on it but it licensed so may not go for it) , Groovy, Ruby on rails ,Play, GWT etc ...

I am a college student and the website is again of a student(non techie guy) so i have 5-6 mnths to bring the website up

I have read about them but all have adv and disadv but would like to hear from people who have used it and can tell me what they felt about the languages and problems while developing it..

Please feel free to drop any opinion you feel .

Thanks
