I made a custom CMS using Phalcon in PHP for a client we needed to get out of WordPress. I'm happy with it and even considered forking it into a product to expand upon and sell, but I'm starting to wonder if this is a bit behind the curve.

So if I made a CMS today, what language and database combination should I use? I went with Phalcon because I was impressed with the performance, and because I'm the most experienced with PHP, but I'm open to any and all suggestions

    Any language you feel comfortable with, and has a decent following, and is good enough for the size of project you're intending.

    Seriously.

    PHP - fine.

    JS - not fine, but for people who only code JS it's completely fine.

    Python - fine.

    .NET Core - fine.

    Go - fine.

    Java - depends on the size, but usually fine as well.

    Just do it.

    @AndSoWeCode Good point. I've been teetering between trying something in laravel or maybe journeying to Ruby. Then again, Phalcon is pretty robust, if not greatly followed or supported yet, but it has served my needs very well. Just so many decisions that it makes my head hurt sometimes.

    We use laravel at our company, it's pretty good and easy to use. But it's getting bloated day by day and it itself is turning into a CMS.
