QuestionBest Web Language For Project Pin

I'm not looking for a definitive answer here, or an argument, but just some clues and some debate.

We may be undertaking project soon to develop a reasonably large application for use in-house by several hundred users. It'll have an MSSQL backend and development would likely be on-going to enhance the product after the initial launch.

Although I haven't come to a firm conclusion in my mind, I'm very much leaning towards the belief that a browser-based application is the way to go, as opposed to client software installed on users' machines.

My question is: What is/are the important languages to consider writing such a web-based application in? I won't be developing this myself, we'll be hiring developer(s), so I need to know which developers to target. I need to know which languages are most ubiquitous, making recruitment of additional/replacement developers easier in future. Are there considerations over speed of development? Which are and are not proprietary, leading to us being vulnerable or otherwise to their owners moving the goalposts or going out of business? Which provide for the fastest, most responsive pages? Which lend themselves to good UX design?

I'm quite experienced coding with ASP.NET and VB.NET, and if the applications was written with those I'd be very comfortable as I'd understand it and could potentially even do some of the development myself. I suspect, though, that most of you will suggest ASP.NET doesn't meet my criteria - if so, why not? I don't accept "It's by Microsoft" as an argument (though I do understand why you might make it).

If ASP.NET really isn't a viable way to go, I'd like to start learning the basics of whatever language we do decided to go with so that I can at least understand the principles of what's going on.

All constructive debate/advice very welcome!
