Ask HN: best language for hiring?

I'm thinking about spending 6 months learning another programming language. I'm good at PHP, and nothing against it, but I think it'll limit me if I want to do a startup, in terms of hiring smart people.

So:

What language (Ruby, Python, ...) should I learn?

Requirements: it should be well webby (ie. have libraries for all the usual web stuff you want to do), and be exciting/easy to hire smart people for.
