Ruby or Python (or Scala)?

I've already dabbled into Python and bought books, but I found its sytax too abstract (too much like pseudocode) and too strict.
Should I learn Ruby and Rails instead, considering that:
- I also want to learn Perl
- I'll use the language for webdev and general projects like games
- I have alredy some little experience with Python ?

I've also heard about Scala and the Lift framework, is it good?

Ruby is slow as fuck. And a TERRIBLY designed languages, no joke. Read some articles about its flaws and you'll realize how deep they are. Also, RubyOnFails is blaoted as fuck (creates hundreds of thousands of objects just for a "hello world" page...) and I haven't used Django but it's probably not much better.

Scala runs on JVM and is therefore shit in my eyes.

But really, Ruby sucks a fat one. If you thought Python sucked for syntax, Ruby sucks for that and every other of its design `features'.

If you wanna do very very simple games then why not C++ and something like SMFL (or preferably something with C). If you really wanna pick between Python and Ruby, stick with Python because it's at least slightly more sane than Ruby.
