Will PHP ever "grow up" and have threading?

I for one will not be lobbying anyone in that regard. I've stated my opinion and argued it, that's all.=20 --=20 Per Jessen, Z=C3=BCrich (11.2=C2=B0C)

When choosing a tool, there are a number of factors to consider - developer productivity, available skills, future maintenance, performance, scalability, portability, parallelism, performance etcetera. =20 --=20 Per Jessen, Z=C3=BCrich (11.4=C2=B0C)

Let's say that you're longer with that company, either by direct employment or contract consultant. You've implemented C because you need 'thread'. Now your replacement comes in and has no clue about C even though your replacement is a PHP guru. How much headache is maintenance gonna be? Scalability? Portability? wow.... > > > -- > Per Jessen, Zürich (11.4°C) > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > |
