So?

I've never used DWS, but am I correct in thinking that it allows you to
script your applications in Pascal on the server?

I love Delphi, but it's string handling is awful - even worse than something
like C. String handling is pretty important for web development.

PHP is designed for nothing but web scripting, and it does it pretty well.

I'm sure it will be, but for the project that was suggested I think it might
be better to use something that isn't a starting project, and is already
cross platform.
