I'm a novice and I want to take the challenge and do this. But I want to know what programming language to learn. Here's a model of what I want to do with it:

--A website that helps users find what to eat.
--The website will have a database of as many food recipes as possible.
--The food finder tool will bring a food suggestion based on the user's answer to gender, age, mood, diet preference, etc.

Hope you guys get it? So any suggestions?

PHP, JavaScript, node.js, Python, Rails etc

Hi Bro,

That sounds like an interesting project, it can be quite easily achieved using the following tools.
1. HTML, CSS, jQuery or a clientside javascript framework for the user interface.
2. Node.js and Express.js for the web application server and backend 'run time'. This may also include use of passport.js (for authentication of users), socket.io (for real time updates if desired) or you can skip this and use a service like 'firebase' to consume their APIs while you focus on the frontend.
3. The most flexible database for this sort of project is MongoDB and you can use Mongoose as the ODM.

Reach out if you need more guidance.
