Visual Studio's Python and Ruby plugins seem quite decent and free if you're on VS Pro and up. You don't necessarily need to let VS go if you're to migrate to a language supported on more than one platform.

They're free, period. You don't need Visual Studio Pro -- you just need to install the isolated shell.
