NYCPHP Meetup

[Cristian Baltatescu]

I always hated answers to questions like this that proposed a totally
different solution, BUT :)
Since you would be ok with a very basic/crippled version of php then why
stick with it? I'm sure you can handle what you mentioned (basic variable
manipulation and echo) in any similar scripting language (perl, python,
ruby etc) that could already be embedded on the platform you end up on? The
beagleboard guys mentioned nodejs for example. I admit i don't know
anything about the one from TI you mentioned.
