Just for the record, I have programmed in many languages over the years and never felt like this about any of them. Any PHP framework is out of the question for me; I can read and understand the code; but just the whole concept of PHP makes me want to puke (literally ... seriously); spaghetti code, dozens of functions that do almost the same thng, or dozens of names for the same function ....

I can assure you that this works well on Linux (you don't mention the > platform).

It really is a more robust OS ... I come from the dark ages of CPM->UNIX->DOS->WINDOWS and then I met Linux. > > Pretty much you just code in Python.

I guess > there is also that small JavaScript to poll for a result. > Don't mean to start yet another heated discussion on web server preferences and trust me, I've done my research comparing Apache Vs NGINX, and I still feel this is one of the toughest decisions we will have to make ... I kind'a like NGINX, but its like the words "heavy duty" and "robust" can only be mentioned when you talk about Apache.
