We've been using python Baker[1] to achieve the similar thing with a little bit of extra flexibility. Occasionally we call out to bash but most scripts are written in python. The sub-commands are handled simply by having a primary baker tha

We're actually using a combination of Beanstalkd and Redis (to make up for beanstalks lack of durability). Before pushing a job to beanstalk we encode the entire job a 'current-jobs' hashmap in redis, our worker transfers it to a 'busy-jobs

I've had a similar issue and have even come up with some suggestions myself[1], but really I think there is only one company in the right place to produce a serious PHP competitor. Facebook. They have the man-power required to displace it,

They have an interpreted version of HipHop as well. Can't use the PHP interpreter due to a couple added features (python-esque yield is the only one I know of)

The Yesod method does seem interesting (best explanation I could find of it is at [1]. Perhaps that would be a better plan, although you could look at the encoding syntax as strongly typed strings. If you look at the 'boldheart' example onc

The reason for that is because your definition of normal hosting is shared. (On a dedicated host you can run both PHP and Ruby; and they're roughly the same in terms of getting set up.) In terms of actually finding website hosting for an ap

Unfortunately the common argument is not always true. To be honest at this point in time I would say PHP is actually the hardest to find hosting for. I'm a long time PHP developer and just recently tried Heroku out -- its like magic. Best

While python/ruby are arguable better languages in a lot of ways, they're also completely different and lacking in a lot of what PHP offers. Everyone has their own languages of preference, and personally I really dislike working with python

I think its important to note your first example actually isn't valid. Part of PHP's type-mixing means strings that consist of an integer representation as array keys are automatically casted to int. $arr = array(1 => 10, "1" =>
