I think mod_snake should also be mentioned in this context. While I
haven't yet tested it (especially the module stuff did look a bit
strange the 10 minutes I had to skim through the docs), it looks very
much like one could use it as a replacement for the sometimes pretty
strange behaving PHP (which is a pain to extend with other libraries
also).

http://modsnake.sourceforge.net

www.zope.org is another shot at about the same stuff (application
server this time) but I honestly have to say I think at least the docs
are complete crap as I spent two days trying to dig into it and
finally gave up due to the docs. Not sure what one should say about
Zope itself (from what I saw, this whole DTML stuff appears to be way
to complicated).

Best regards,
 Gabriel
