Admittedly.  I only saw PHP from a linguistic/grammatical point of

This sounds interesting.  I have some experience in PHP3, but I
haven't ever used that feature.  I'd look into it to bring to Ruby

Definitely.  We have to learn much from PHP, especially documentation.

Zope would be one of the killer apps for Python, yes.  Is anyone
working or planning on developing Ruby interface for Zope?
