I've always wondered if there was a place for a language that was properly designed, but copied PHP/php-fpm's execution model? It has beautiful horizontal scaling, but perhaps the long lived process model is better (ruby, go, etc) than PHP's "stateless" (as in, the app holds no real state itself after the request, it shuts down) per-req setup. Thoughts?
Actually, I've been looking at SCGI with Nimrod... ;)
Seriously though, I've been trying to find out lately whether CGI is at all useful in this day and age, or whether if some well-designed scripting language that used the PHP style of run-time would be better to avoid using it.
