It's almost like I'm famous and people are interested in what I do!

I've never heard of you, but I liked the idea behind a PHP replacement.

In my experience with a new PHP developers, the first hurdle is explaining that urls have nothing to do with the filesystem.

(I don't do PHP) I had the same issue starting with using web APIs in java.

It's understandable though as the early web was essentially serving a filesystem directly (almost ftp).

That aside, I've always been interested in the, as you put it, "shit files into a directory" approach with a language that's not PHP. Now if only we could get ubiquitous hosting for it once you work out the security issues (which I do hope you'll do)...
