Let me welcome you to the discussion, first. I had been thinking that
both PHP and Net.Data were under-represented on this list. And your
summary of some of the history between IBM and Zend was interesting.
Regarding your question about why anyone would learn Net.Data, given the
resources that are being poured into PHP, the following comes to mind:
No installation required.
Very easy to get started.
Seductively simple to learn.
Exceptional integration with native language environments.
It's that 4th point that is the biggest selling point for me. Net.Data
runs under the native virtual machine, and integrates exceptionally well
with native language environments. If I were serious about scripting
languages, this would be important to me.
