This is so cool Ash. I didnt see this post before as I hadnt come on CE much for the past 2 weeks, and also not much in CS section
I can give you some more info on Python from what Ive read
.
For example Google itself uses only 3 primary languages. C++, Java and .... anddd behold (It was surprising to me too!) Python! They wrote the whole code.google.com in Python with just 100 lines of code BUT all the functions which were easily imported and wrapped for Python made the final compilation file about 3MB+ ! Info is from this INTERESTING web-log from a Google guy:
Python at Google.notes

If you want to write a piece of something else, like Perl, you have to
almost get special permission. (Exceptions in ops, but for actual
product stuff, see above)
Miscellaneous
Some Perl used by Operations (others almost have to get permission to use Perl)
PHP creeeps in for internal webapps
Saw Ruby sneaking around
Small amount of C#

As for Ruby, you would know better as you must have already searched google for "Python or Ruby for web development". lol
I did that too, interesting stuff.
