As far as languages go, Python seems a far better choice than php or
perl based solutions. I haven't tried Ruby - so I can't comment.
The Zope framework for python has been remarkably productive for me
both with and wtihout plone(CMF modules and a look and feel on top of
Zope). The documentation is improving, but I can's say the situation
is good. In truth, Zope knowledge is zope specific (at least I haven't
found it useful) and it was a bit of a transition coming from a j2ee
background.
I didn't find the learning curve to be very steep, but the path is
covered in brambles - haha. Mostly due to the fast pace of
development.
btw, I am not a zope person or a plone, person - I have however used
both solutions to develop some pretty nifty sites faster than anything
else I have used. Even through the "gettting to know you phase" So
I'm a pretty big fan. That being said, Zope is it's own universe of
ideas, and a lot of them seem "odd". As far as hosting, I also know
where Zope/Plone hosting from 7.95 a month - although the host doesn't
list it on their ads, they do use and host it.
