Now Pascal has its defficiencies in web programming too. CGI programming
tends not to be very scalable, allthough it compensates by raw
performance. The trouble is when databases come in, connection pooling is
almost impossible to achieve with CGI.

Sure, but as vehicle for forums, content system e
This is an interesting discussion, guys. I really believe that there
is no one perfect language and some languages are better at some
problems than other. I should also know better than to argue with
people who clearly know more than I do about *writing* a language,
since I know nothing about it,
I would like to put my two sense in because I have been doing extensive
FreePascal Web programming, and I have to agree that FreePascal has a
nice structure and PHP often can get quite ugly.
For many applications PHP is just fine.
The points you guys are bringing up are good ones - like security

as an apache module. My test server at work has 128MB of RAM and only
occasionally does it slow down noticably, typically when MySQL is

The main problem with the graph unit is that basically no one is
maintaining it currently. The poor performance is coupled to that, since
a plugin for it which bases it on sdl or any other framework could be
written.

Speed is not important. Does it work with X11?
AFAIK, no. CMIIW. On Linux, it requires svgalib and root access.

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but what is the difference? Memory
usage, threading, etc? I've only ever setup websites with Apache
and written basic CGI apps.
Is there a speed difference between CGI and PHP?
Memory usage? Session information?
