The current situation sucks a bit. You've got a choice of classical web dev environments, like perl's Mason, which are fast, but a bit difficult to code for, and so-called `modern' web environments, like ruby-on-rails, or perl's catalyst (or php symphony, if I'm right), which would be nice, except that they're REAL SLOW, and so you need a killer machine to run any kind of web server. Google's approach of compiling java into javascript has not yet made it to the world of php/perl/python, as far as I'm aware, though it might be the real solution for maintainable ajax...
