Humm... Ruby.

Had been around from very start when I entered the internet.

Ruby is a reflective, dynamic, object-oriented programming language. It combines syntax inspired by Perl with Smalltalk-like object-oriented features, and also shares some features with Python, Lisp, Dylan and CLU. Ruby is a single-pass interpreted language. Its main implementation is free software distributed under an open-source license.

Some great free books on Ruby Language: http://books.pspxworld.com/BOOK/PROGRAMMING/RUBY.php

FYI, very few hosts support ruby on rails.

Ruby is amazing compared to PHP, its just that PHP is more popular, so many peices of software use PHP insead/

Yep. The server environment was the main reason I had to choose between Ruby and PHP. And I went with PHP.
