I don't hate Lisp, I rather like when I encounter it. The only actual work use I've made of it was a command or two in Emacs Lisp years ago. On the other hand, I'm tepid toward JScript and dislike VBScript. But occasionally I have had to write something to run on Windows machines where I could not install a preferred language. So one of the two it had to be. I don't particularly like PHP--its support for closures and constructs such as map aren't pretty. But it's might easy to configure and run on any given Linux box. If the Lispers want to build and distribute mod_lisp RPMs, I'll be hapy to take a look.
