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.


You should have a look to Seaside which is very smart web framework for
Smalltalk/Squeak.Small library, efficient, easy to understand and to
program.
