There are many awesome none web app tools that are developed with JavaScript because of it's popularity and developers' passion. PHP is losing popularity for sure. http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/PHP.html PHP is the worst in terms of lost popularity among top 20 languages. It should be a flag for us to adjust our strategy/view. Market share comes after language popularity. When market share has changed, it would be too late. Anyway, I'm willing to have phpng as master, as well as INT64 branch. Both are good for PHP. IMO. Regards, -- Yasuo Ohgaki yohg...@ohgaki.net
