Put it this way, say you where going shopping to Asda in car. Now you do 
not drive you car around the shop you use a trolley. By you way of 
thinking I should drive a car around ASDA and just use parts of car I 
need. This doesn't happen why because it's insane. You change and use 
something easer smaller but still do job at hand.

Yep it footprint issue, there is lot in PHP which I do not need. If 
could get rid of that then it becomes a possibility.

I just find it amazing that isn't anything. I am also going to be 
looking in to idea in using ECMAScrip, Lisp, Mono and others.
