Red or Blue? Ketchup or Mustard?

Like any vague question, this one is tough to answer without any context. Most programmers would probably answer along the lines of "use the right tool for the job". Fortunately for you, I'm not most programmers.

Seriously though, I asked a very similar question when I wanted to stop trying to bend Java to be a web programming language. I started with Ruby on Rails, but ended up using Django with Python. The big draw for me was that Python as a language has been around long enough to have most of the annoying kinks worked out, and the majority of stupid problems solved.

If you just want a general purpose programming language take a good look at Python and the number of mature libraries that can help you do what you want. Or if libraries don't float your boat, see how easy it is to write your own code from the ground up in Python. Python's been doing rapid development since before it was popular.
