This question is definitely off topic. Webstandards are:
Structural Languages
Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) 1.0
XHTML 1.1
Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0
Presentation Languages
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Level 1
CSS Level 2
CSS Level 3
Object Models
Document Object Model (DOM) Level 1 (Core)
DOM Level 2
Scripting Languages
ECMAScript 262 (the standard version of JavaScript)
Additional Presentation Languages (Markup)
Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) 1.01
MathML 2.0
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.0
I would add XSLT to this list.
But to answer your question in short words:
Ruby is worth a look, especially with the ruby on rails framework.
I would choose the language which is best for my project. If it is a
small project which has to be developed in short time. Ruby with ROR
is the first choice.
If the project gets larger and has to be extended by other persons,
I'd probably choose PHP.
If it is a large scale enterprise project, I prefer Java with Cocoon
and/or Spring.
