Well I'm sure it's great for massive projects. It's much easier to work on
lots of little files with well defined interfaces when you are in a team
environment. There are only two other good things about Java:
 - the amount of documented free code
 - object orientation

For a single person or very small team I can't imagine there being a better
CGI engine than MC. Try getting PHP to do this:

put url "file:data.txt" into tData
delete line tDelete of tData
put tData into url "file:data.txt"

I tried. I had to split the file into an array. Put index 0 into the deleted
index then shift the array down 1 index. Then implode the array, then write
the file, then truncate the file.

Cheers
