I know this gets asked a lot, but some input on our specific situation would be appreciated, considering we don't have: a) experience with one of the languages already or b) bit of an app already coded.

For a dynamic web-based solution, what language would you recommend?

Some Criteria: 1) The languages we are thinking about are php, python, perl, ruby we are open to other suggestions, don't have enough experience in any of them to make a difference. 2) We value speed of execution most. 3) We are going to use postgres for a database. 4) Webhost compatibility is not an issue.
