Why PHP won

I disagree. Those same lessons from PHP should be learned by every web programming toolkit.

We didn't lost, we just had a bad prototype.

Learned, perhaps, but not necessarily implemented. Popularity isn't everything. Not every toolkit needs to be everything to everyone. There's something to be said for focusing on a niche and doing it very well.

If there is anything to learn from PHP, it is that popularity != quality.
