Well I started myself with Ruby and was going to learn RoR, but I've been sliding into Python and Django. I'm impressed, very =P but I love all my FOSS brothers. If your mind wraps around Ruby then go for it, if your mind wraps around Python instead, then go for it. Yes python in general feels faster, it closer to Perl in speed, but on a modern machine is the speed of your interpreted code the bottle-neck? Usually it will happen in the database layer first imho.

Anything beats the handcuffs of the commercial software world imho for Web work.
