I know PHP has been stated time and time again as the preferred 
choice, but I must point out that it really doesn't look too 
maintainable when you start to discuss serious themability and 
especially multi-lingual sites.

My solution to this problem:

  http://www.eventloop.com/fabric/

It works extremely well in the theme and multi-lingual areas.  And 
there is *total* seperation between code and templates, which makes
it really easy to let translators edit text without the need for 
digging through code or other methodologies.
