Python and Ruby are pretty much the players when it comes to web apps these days.

If you want to stick with a Microsoft Stack, you could try ASP.NET (shudder).



No interest in going with Microsoft. :-)

What are the pros and cons between Python and Ruby and how does Ruby on Rails fit into it?

Thank you!


You're kind of asking what's better between vi and emacs.

I would recommend spending some time checking out either Django (http://djangoproject.com/) or Pylons (http://pylonshq.com/) on the Python side and I think Rails is probably going to be the best place to start on the Ruby side of the equation.

Any of those should be a good place to start, it's really a matter of personal preference between the three at this point.


In Microsoftland, F# is pretty nice.


Are you using F# as an ASP.NET language?


No, command-line only.
