No Linux support. No FreeBSD support. No 64-bit support!

I have to disagree here. Object Pascal seems like a much more suited
language for web development. I can use anything from the RTL, FCL,
OPF frameworks and Object Pascal language features like inheritance,
interfaces etc. - exactly the same as I can in my desktop
counterparts. I can reuse the skills of all my developers without
having to retrain them in Java, PHP (which version) etc.. We have
years and years of Object Pascal code in our toolbox that we can now
reuse for the web apps.

Oh, and lets not forget that a binary CGI apps runs circles around PHP
apps when it comes to speed.
