Suppose one would like to create a WordPress workalike, i.e. a blogging
engine sharing look&feel of WordPress but written from scratch.  What
language/framework do you think would be the best?

I mean -- one could code that in PHP and simply use PostgreSQL, but
PHP is probably the most popular language, but I don't think it's the best.

Ruby on Rails perhaps?  I have not written a single line in Ruby, but
I've read on the list here that it has very good PostgreSQL interface...

Python?  Perl?  Something different?

The reason I'm asking this question is that I would like to hear personal
experiences with alternative to PHP environments, how do they "feel",
how do they scale, in order to boost my knowledge a bit.
