Is there another language that is better than Ruby on Rails for web development?

I am thinking about learning a programming language so that I can code the MVP of my website. I looked in Rails from the links in the Tutorial, but I still think it's quite complicated. Is there a program or a graphics interface programming language that'd be easier for me to use? 

 

I've looked at PHP in the past, and I think that's not too hard to learn. But I was thinking since if I had to learn something from scratch, I'd want to learn something that'd last me longer.

Use a CMS (Content Management System) like Drupal (drupal.org). It will allow you to get started and have a working website in a few minutes. It has thousands of modules that are free to plug-in to your site and create incredible functionality. Then learn PHP ... it is probably the most prevalent server-side language. The P in LAMP is PHP (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP). Web pages in the browser (client-side) are based on HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Learn those as well. Hope that helps.
