gollark: I like Node.js/Express for my random bodging because it's less evil than PHP (especially when type checked), has really great libraries available, and doesn't do the silly (conventional for PHP) "one execution of your script per request" thing.
gollark: On the PHP thing, popular does not mean or imply good.
gollark: Also, I like DokuWiki as config is simple, it doesn't try to do too much, and it has good plugins.
gollark: Go bad. Never use Go.
