Choosing a simple web application framework

I'm evaluating web application frameworks for a hobby project I'm starting, and am beginning to go crazy trying to decide among the vast number of frameworks available to choose. The framework language isn't helping me filter out frameworks as I have varying levels of experience with Java, Python, Ruby and C#, and don't mind frameworks in any of these languages.

I'm looking for help in narrowing the choice down to a few that I can then investigate in more detail.

Depends quite a bit on what you want your hobby project to be.

I'd say choose a Ruby or Python one.

(I'm doing most of my work using java, but don't think that is the best fit for a hobby project)

If you are doing Java and desperately need something to get you out of the ohfock-it's-2am-and-I-am-still-coding-this-sql-shite, then please look no further than Grails http://grails.org.

It's everything like Ruby on Rails except that it:

  1. Should be way cooler than Rails
  2. Better performance
  3. Wealth of Java libraries
  4. You get some peace Rails disco noise and get things done.
