Python is very well respected, and Perl has modules to do anything you want
and many things you don't/shouldn't/are bad for your health.
You might want to look at PHP (http://www.php.net) which has a syntax which is
quite close to what you want.
A word of warning - it's very easy in PHP to mix your code and HTML. For
anything but the smallest project you don't want to do this. There are lots
of templating options, but smarty (http://smarty.php.net) is quite popular
and flexible.
