I would want to turn the question around and (genuinely, not rhetorically) ask: which ecosystems right now do have a good security baseline? Am I wrong when I guess Java/.Net/Ruby and possibly more recent PHP frameworks?


ASP.NET MVC 4 and later is pretty decent, Rails is getting better but recently had a large series of problems, and django is one of the most secure by default web frameworks that I've ever used. Django really gets a lot of things (sessions, CSRF, XSS, etc..) right out of the box. Grails is pretty decent but I don't have a lot of in depth Java framework experience but it seems to vary based on the framework.



Symfony on PHP has a great security baseline--though it's pretty complicated.
