Python looks pretty good. Django is suppose to be a great Python web framework, too. Unfortunetly, I've never used it for anything serious, so I didn't think I could mention it with much authority. One day I'll give it a try. Adi: I agree. Python looks pretty good. Django is suppose to be a great Python web framework, too.

Rant: Talking about scripting/dynamic languages. Personally, I don't like Ruby at all. Perl - maybe, but Python rules. Everything is there where it needs to be, and behaves the way you would expect. The first time I saw a Python code, I could read it effortlessly, without knowing anything about the Python syntax.

ASP.NET is probably better today, but back in 1.1 era it was painful in many ways. It was still much better than writing in pure PHP. Today if I were forced to write web app, I'd probably use PHP with CodeIgniter and modules extension (available on CI wiki). I really, really don’t like PEAR.
