• Clojure/Compojure+Ring/Moustache+Ring
• Groovy/Grails
• Python/Django
• Ruby/Rails

Answer 1

Have you tried ASP.NET MVC? It is actually very different to ASP.NET (vanilla), but retains your knowledge of the .NET framework. Most people wouldn't look back...

With the view based on your html (rather than whatever the controls decide to emit), it is also ideally placed to work alongside jQuery (it is even installed in the default project template) for all your dhtml/ajax needs.

Resources:

• ASP.NET MVC in Action
• jQuery in Action

Answer 2

Have you considered turning off the computer and going outside instead?
