you missed pike: pike.ida.liu.se
it has all of the features you mentioned above (except a compiler for
standalone binaries (it has a compiler though)) and pike is not as wide
spread, so less people that know it and less apps (but a few quite
excellent ones: www.caudium.org, www.open-steam.org, community.roxen.com)
pike has pure OO from the first generation written 15 years ago
(under the name of LPC)
it is available under LGPL and MPL
(unlike zend which is needed for fast php i think)
it is a lot faster, (dare i say :-)
greetings, martin.
