I have been looking at a new language to learn for some time. I was looking
at either Groovy, Python or Ruby. These 2 things that stood out for me:

1) The community is really active and forward thinking. For example: our own
Columbus Ruby Brigade has a bunch of cool oaks and they think like I do.
2) Syntax is easy and looks nice in an editor.

A few things keep me from being a complete convert: I still like my PHP for
web programming, something about weak-dynamic typing on the web that appeals
to me. While the library support is growing, I still need a lot of Java for
my robotics & vision processing, and while I could use JRuby, Groovy seems a
better fit.
