I need to develop a myspace type site for artists that is also built around a shopping cart, sort of a social commerce site with much of the myspace functionality. Want to use a programming language that scales well and is coded correctly from the start. Would you just have bid out on a site like rentacoder? I've wasted too much time and money on programmers that didn't come through.
Any language should be fine, it's just how it's written that makes the difference. Scaling is a huge topic and impossible to go over in this tiny answer. I suggest reading some books on IR and that sort of thing. And scour the web for more technical scaling requirements.
