Love you guys, too. :)
I'm not saying MW should switch languages or that Java is a good choice of language for this context. I'm simply noting that if MW used Java, then we could slap the parser classes in GWT and get a nice portabe JavaScript version of it.
Please don't construe this statement as a veiled snipe at PHP (or Java, or any other language). It's just an observation of fact.
Ok - I did state one opinion... I'd rather write a big app in Java then JavaScript. If you take issue w/ that you're welcome to take it offlist and mail me privately, but let's do try to keep things professional and on-topic on _this_ list. :)
