How to choose what language to use or what CMS to build a website on for a given project

I've been taking number of courses here and I really love Treehouse, however I'm still confused when it comes to build a new website or app what is the best solution, what language to use, why one is better than other. I built static website just using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I built dynamic PHP Wordpress, coded a theme from scratch, which was amusing. I also created Ruby on Rails App and uploaded to Heroku. Now, I'm taking Andrew class on Node.js and I'm wondering what is the best nowdays, where I should stop and specialize. You can't really learn great all those languages, servers, solutions, frameworks, but what is the best one and how to choose?

Thanks, Gregory. It's an interesting article, kind of what I think.
