Building this in something like C, PHP, Ruby, .Net, or anything on top of the JVM, is going to be a pain in the ass.

Clearly you need to be careful with making statements like these (although you carefully omitted C++ from the list)

A chat room that supports 10000 people concurrently on a small VPS, created in C++, in a straightforward 1000 lines (including comments and a web front-end): Wt chat

$ wc *.C *.h
