I think that targeting Parrot or JVM would be a bad idea, because that would break the simplicity of the PHP installation we have today.

- jrockway 18y agomod_parrot should be just as easy to install as mod_php. Tomcat is also as easy to install. Deployment in any language is not much of a problem on machines that you control. PHP is popular because of mod_php shared hosts that charge $1/month. Paying a dollar is apparently an easier way to get started with programming than `apt-get install <a real language>`, hence PHP's popularity.
