This sounds like the beginning of a new type of "computer language shootout." Somebody: 1) Defines an application, all apps have to spit out the same HTML (or roughly the same.) 2) Solicits codes from a number of different languages/frameworks. 3) Runs the code on a web server, beats on it & measures performance. 4) Reports.
