For a variety of deployment reasons, we've decided that whatever we choose will be deployed on the JVM. As a result, this comparison is for the JVM versions of the languages, e.g. JRuby, Jython, and, of course, Groovy, which has no other deployment option. I want to also clarify that I have the most experience with Python and I really like the language. There is no doubt that the language influenced me in my evaluation, but I really tried to remain objective in spite of that.

I'll vote this up, but the web framework analysis is extremely weak and even inaccurate in places. For example, there are several more web frameworks for Ruby than just Rails. He gave no clear reason why he preferred Rails over Grails (other than a vague fear about potential future complexity in Grails).
