"It's stuck as web development language due to design constraints" PHP comes with a CLI SAPI that allows you to use it on the command line just like python, ruby etc and has done so since version 4.2.0 (released April 2002). I've written and maintained many cli tools and deamons in PHP over the last 11 years with great success so please get your facts straight before perpetuating falsehoods .. sorry, but I'm getting pretty sick of the ill-informed PHP bashing going on round these parts.
