I would be carefull saying rebol is superior to PHP when the latter has
direct embedded support into apache and now can be compiled to be fast.
Other than the fact that if you badly need something not still existing
you can go and code it yourself for it.
For a language that claims its desire is to become the Internet glue a
native support into mainstream web servers should be the priority.
