There's a lot of names on the list.. and im sure there are a lot of new people too who are interested and just reading along and might take your word for the truth.. For example your quote: NekoVM is around 30 times faster than PHP.. In all honestly I kind of doubt it, since this is coming from you.. The first thing that pops is if you installed an accelerator or not.. This is something every PHP developer should do in a production enviroment.. For all I know you installed PHP as a CGI.. this is something some of the *AMP installers for windows do by default..

I want people to use the stuff I create, just like everyone.. I'm sure you knew what I ment, and I want to stress again that I'm in no way personally attacking you.. Take care.. if haxe is as good as you say it is, I'm sure it will become the next big thing..
