I am a fan of what the guys working on Play Framework are doing, but there are still some things they need to work out for deployment to work in App Engine. I'd look into addressing the issues myself if I had a chance: http://www.playframework.com.
Grails is probably the closest to Ruby on Rails, but we are still working on Groovy startup time - it's a different face of the same problem we have with JRuby. If you're looking at new languages altogether (framework independent), I really like the Scala programming language. It's not as free form as dynamic languages like JRuby or Groovy, but you get a lot from type safety without a lot of the type clunkiness that Java forces upon you. Then - there's also the Python option for App Engine. Django usually spins up pretty quick (on the order of 50-200ms, from what I remember).
