Heh heh. "good reliable code in PHP" *is* a contradiction of terms, after 
all ;)

As much as I prefer to write Haxe (and then compile it down to PHP), one of 
the [many] things that bugs me about Haxe is that it doesn't appear to do 
any of those checks automatically. Big missed opportunity there.

I've been positively salivating at the idea of combining D, FastCGI and a 
D-ified rails-like framework. Haven't gotten around to it though. 
Fortunately, I did recently find out that the hosts I'm currently using 
allow custom-made CGI. Unfortunately, I can't use FastCGI on them, although 
I've been getting so fed up with PHP lately (both the PHP language and the 
PHP platform - Haxe only sheilds you from [parts of] the language, not the 
platform), that I think I can live perfectly happily without FastCGI.
