top of the list are Ruby <http://www.ruby-lang.org/> and Python
<http://python.org/>.
I figure that Ruby would be easy to learn because of its similarity to
Perl (I'm told). But I also figure that Python would be easy to learn
because of its simplicity. And when it comes to webby stuff, I can use
Rails <http://www.rubyonrails.org/> with Ruby and Django
<http://www.djangoproject.com/> with Python.
I'm currently leaning toward Python and began doing so last week. I
started with Mark Pilgrim's excellent Dive Into Python
<http://diveintopython.org/> and made it thru the first 3 chapters
pretty quickly. So far it feels pretty good.
Before I really dive in, though, I'm curious to hear what others think
about the choice between these two languages.
(On a related note, you might also read Tim Bray's On Ruby
<http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2006/07/24/Ruby> post, since
he just started learning Ruby.)
