They have no other option, because python is a scripting language which
is invoked from the webserver.
Actually in Plone, everything including the web server is running in python.
It's stateless. I'm also not sure that we can
do what they do: python is interpreted, after all.
They do have states, within objects. But it is all managed. It is very
sophisticated.
With my big picture hat on, I suggest we look at including an
interpreted option.
After all, there existing interpretors that we might be able to utilise
if we ask.
Not forgetting, the target for all of this is to be able to build a web
app in a way that is reasonably familiar to old timers (attempting to
preserve legacy code) and have it run on modern platforms. Be that in a
web browser or whatever.
