Python still seems like a less powerful Perl pretending to be a more advanced and "cleaned up" Perl. I definitely prefer Python over PHP though, which is just a retarded cousin of Perl. But Perl is much more expressive and powerful (and faster, maybe with the exception of OO stuff) than Python, Ruby etc.
For GUI apps, I much prefer Clojure. It has all of the GUI capabilities from Java, but instead of writing in Java you get to write in a (fast) dynamic language.
