When you have a chance, I'm curious to hear why you feel something like 
FastCGI is unappealing to customers compared to .so. I assume there's more 
to it than it just not being "trendy" enough. (For me personally, the issue 
is moot b/c my clients are generally on shared hosting from questionable 
providers, so I pretty much have to stick with PHP or Haxe. Or ASP, 
depending on the client).
