I want to make my own imageboard but I'd like some advice. I've looked at many imageboards on github that use php, ruby. perl, nodejs, go and I'm not sure what language I should use. My main focus will be on security over features and no JS required (optional).

Avoid php and javascript like the plague then.
And perl code can very easily become messy if you're not experienced.

Python seems appropriate and easy. Django and Flask are two web frameworks for Python that I am aware of.

No, picking python or ruby is fine if you already know them.
Just avoid the shit languages out there and you'll be fine.

It's a clusterfuck. Here's the source code in case you want a migraine. https://github.com/lainchan/lainchan

grab Meguca or Lynx Chan source. as for which language, i would just use Perl or Ruby.

I suggest Kareha. Perl. Very simple, no database required. Very fast and lightweight.

Holy shit! I was just about to create a thread asking the same thing. How long do you think it will take to clone 8chan?
I want to do it too just to see how hard it is.

It won't have to scale because it will be as dead as all the others.

STFU, learn to use Python + Flask + SQL and you will be set

Not a good idea if you want to make it 8cahn-like (user created boards)

The actual code is fine. Do you even know what you took a screenshot of? DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW PHP SERVING WORKS?

Everyone has his favorite language but in the end it doesn't really matter which language you use as long as you write good code with it. If you use something that compiles to binaries it'll be faster but who really cares about that in a web environment?
Also concerning existing projects, I think nobody mentioned jschan yet:

Isn't that from the tinyboard family too?

Lynx has its own problems, I'd be glad to see an alternative. Meguca is really cool but the whole liveposting/having to live with javascript thing is not for everyone. The problem with this one is that lat wrote it to be just exactly what he wants his own site to be like with no though whatsoever put into making it customizable without changing the naked code. On the flipside the code is pretty tidy and easy to get into, so that changing it is not that much of a problem in the first place.

from scratch it would probably take a few months. it's not that hard, it just takes a lot of time.

Like most things it depends entirely on your skillset. Have you ever done a website before? Have you used databases? Have you done any kind of networking or used relevant tools like node.js? Do you know how various web technologies (POST/GET, http headers, cookies, forms/file uploads) work? How experienced are you with html/css/js? Have you used tools like imagemagick or ffmpeg? Do you have any kind of real programming experience or does your knowledge end at writing 50 line scripts and larping about Lisp in /tech/?
You can make an imageboard in a weekend if you know what you're doing and don't require any special features. But then you'll be ruined by the first epic script kiddy who finds your site and thinks he's doing the world a service by ruining any and all imageboards with spam scripts because he's a failure who couldn't create anything actually worthwhile, and then you'll have to start building captcha and anti-bot/spam measures whose nuances are nearly impossible to learn about in any other way than trying yourself.
