I don't believe that a desktop application should be the initial focus of this.
This kind of application belongs in a browser right now, so people can access it from their phone, their office, their laptop, their iPad, whatever. When we have GNU social up and running, and people are able to communicate between web clients, people will inevitably make desktop clients, and that's great... but it's not the focus here. Let's move on from discussing which language is better, and move to discussing how we can get started making this a reality. PHP and a relational database will allow more people use this in the ways that people use social networks now. That's reality. Now please, let's pick a framework, and quickly, and start writing code.
