I was going to answer to that post, then I realized I would be making a choice between PHP and Javascript on the server in the future. And really, I want neither of them.

Let's get web apps' APIs up to par with native APIs first, then maybe we can talk. Oh, and let's get it up to par performance wise. Because right now, in both those categories, web apps are terrible. Until then, I'll kee
