That's because there are no viable alternatives. It probably wouldn't be
the case if there was a zIIP enabled Ruby on Rails, Python Django or
node.js framework available.
What would be required to entice IBM to enable any of these, even
assuming the FOSS community stepped in to provide the coding
effort?
Good question. I think IBM are more than happy to allow modern
workloads to run on zIIP engines so long as they can still charge a
premium for
legacy workloads. As far as the technical details go we would have to
ask someone like Russ Teubner from Hostbridge. They ported and zIIP
enabled the
SpiderMonkey Javascript engine to z/OS.
