Will PHP ever "grow up" and have threading?

From: Tommy Pham on 23 Mar 2010 04:31 Here's another analogy. For those of us in the field long enough, we see the power of AJAX and we use it in one form or another. For the newbies, they have yet to see it's power nor the requirements to implement it. Threading is similar to that. It's not for everybody. But for those of us that are ready and have need for it, we can implement it IF IT'S THERE, which is the point of OP, although the way he put it isn't exactly welcoming... perhaps he had a very long week and it's just starting too.

Use the right tool for the right job - PHP is a scripting/interpreted language, it does not need threading (IMO of course). --=20 Per Jessen, Z=C3=BCrich (9.4=C2=B0C)

From: Rene Veerman on 23 Mar 2010 06:56 hmm i use scripted languages because i prefer and they allow/force simple-to-read-code. but that does not mean a scripted language can't evolve to expose "complicated" code constructs like multi-threading and daemon-building in a simple manner too. i'd prefer it if a language like PHP can be used for other things besides webserving too. i also think at least some web-apps could benefit from multi-threading and daemon-building.. particularly web-apps that deal with real-time dataflows. and btw, the distinction between compiled and scripted is not a hard one anymore eh.. not with zend and that facebook php-compiler out there.

I didn't intend for my reply to sound nasty. After reading your OP, I see that you are a very experienced programmer and I meant for it as a suggestion. -- Blessings David M.
