JSP2.0 w/ JSTL. Full of ${blah} variables to make the PHP fan happy.

Agreed. I don't know of anything that PHP has to offer to a JVM. PHP-OO is
a copy of Java's style generally, much of the ease of PHP is doable with
latest JSPs now, PHPs painful admin model is thankfully easier in Java,
and PHPs multitude of db-dependent [PEAR not being dominant] functions are
thankfully not in existence in Java.
The only thing PHP has over Java is the ease with which it fits in an
Apache server. It'd be much nicer to keep improving on [Sam's I think] the
PHP->Java link and defining a subset of PHP so that apache users can use
Java without having to link to another application.
