Never used any of these, but I notice that they are written in (wait while I lose lunch) PHP. Now there is a level of bloat that is inevitable (I'd imagine) with such languages *and* the mindset of your garden variety PHP programmer. (I mean, APC is not part of the compiler/runtime? Really? Who designs this stuff?)
But, rather than go off on my usual rants, I'd like to hear your views based on your digging into the code. P. On Aug 31, 2010, at 10:51, Reinier Battenberg wrote: > HI, > > absolutely not.
