More buzz wanted



Hi folks,,

I'm sick of c++, perl and java - now what?

I run a successful independant software firm, we do web apps and games.
I get a buzz only from the games work whereas Java & web are seriously
depressing me but to say the least I must keep running with both.

"Change is as good as a holiday" (yeah right) so I'm thinking about
changing web tool sets?

I looked at C#, it's very nice but too much like Java. I checkout at
Python and Ruby but I'm torn between them. Should I just wait for
Perl6?

My question is where is all the buzz, "what's hot", especially for web
apps?
mySql + PHP, Python + Zope, Ruby on Rails. A Prolog dialect? Something
else?

I favor a "best tools (note the plural) for the job approach", then I
glue everything together and make them play nicely, pre-glued is even
better.

I don't want flamewars, just heart felt recommendations with a deep
understanding and reasoning for why that technology is good. (I never
rubbish anyone, people love VB and make great use of it, who am I to
argue? so feel free to share)

Can you please help?
*Thanks* in advance.
-Cheers
