Hi, Once again I didn't read it completely (maybe I will do so), but my 2ct: I recently played with Ruby and Python and of course with their application server (at least a little bit). My experience was, that it is less fun as it sounds in the first place compared to a well designed webserver-interpreter-stack (and of course common OS-specific stuff for CLI). In my eyes it is good the way it is: Let PHP do it's job and let "more intelligent tools" do the other things, like spawning request-handling processes. Not saying, that I'm against an application, but I currently don't miss it :) On the other side someone must maintain it and someone must make sure, that it is secure and efficient. This resources should not taken from the core-team.
