 #### Why not modify the original compiler to emit PHP?
 
-The compiler itself depends on Jison, which is written in JavaScript, so you'd
-have to do something about that... More generally speaking, it'd be much more
-work to try and sort out all the differences between JavaScript and PHP (object
-model, core classes/libraries, etc), I imagine. There's also much less incentive
-to do all that work server side, where the choice to not use one language is,
-if not easy, at least available.
+For a number of reasons... First, I don't know why you'd want something like
+that. If you find PHP intolerable, just don't use it... Second, the original
+compiler depends on Jison, which is written in JavaScript, so you'd have to do
