Scheme... that's lisp(-ish), right?

It'd attract more users, but is going to make support... interesting.
Also, since *every* page is in fact a script in Midgard, security
is going to be an issue (although perls' Safe module can help out in
that aspect).
Then there's the scripts themselves: PHP allows for easy script
embedding,
while you need extra perl modules (like EmbPerl) to help you with that.
Added dependency.
Anyhow, I think it's a great idea.
Bye,
