Since we have enough market share on web apps already, why don't we focus
more on developers? There are many awesome none web app tools that are
developed with JavaScript because of it's popularity and developers'
passion.
PHP is losing popularity for sure.

PHP is the worst in terms of lost popularity among top 20 languages. It
should be
a flag for us to adjust our strategy/view. Market share comes after
language popularity.
When market share has changed, it would be too late.
Anyway, I'm willing to have phpng as master, as well as INT64 branch.
Both are good for PHP. IMO.
