If threads are important to you, Python, even with its limitations, is still way ahead of Ruby or Perl. At least according to the docs.
I'd just like to add there that I'm disappointed with the way threads work in perl (interpreter threads). We've been fighting the fact that perl uses ridiculous amounts of memory and a big part of that has to do with how it does threads.
From the "Guts of Perl debugging" man page:
"Perl is a profligate wastrel when it comes to memory use. There is a saying that to estimate memory usage of Perl, assume a reasonable algorithm for memory allocation, multiply that estimate by 10, and while you still may miss the mark, at least you won't be quite so astonished." /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
