Looks like I'm going to end up looking at Ruby after all. My issue with Ruby (and Smalltalk) is that I don't think that I buy that everything needs to be an object.
I can't say that this has ever looked like a problem to me - and I've seen plenty of code that made no such assumptions ;). In cases where a real object model doesn't seem to make sense, you can always just use a class and just write class methods - but again, I don't know how often that need would come up.
