Point. Click. I want ints. I want String. Scaffold my framework. All done
Its easy. I don't like ruby though, and there used to be a lot of hype on it, but it seems to have quieted down a bit.
I'd suggest PHP, Perl, ASP.NET and CF for web based language. I'm expecting a bit of resurgence from CF since the advent of Flex, but it depends on the Flex vs Silverlight battle for CF versus C#. In either case, PHP wins (Brandoe would disagree )
Hope that helps! Just search up for some ruby on rails concept on google. You'll get better answers from people whom actually use the language (I don't).
