Personification of PHP doesn't make your argument any more salient. PHP isn't trying to stay ahead of anything. People are using it to solve problems, not to meet some phantom ideal of a "computing trend" threshold. > but you nay-sayers here have convinced me; i'll be shopping for > another language with which to serve my applications and the weboutput > they produce.. > > thanks for opening my eyes and telling to abandon ship in time. Obviously we didn't open your eyes. Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP

It's a debate. The dev team consider proposals and weigh in on the merits. I was a proponent for goto support during the development of PHP 5. We now have it. If you arguments are valid and there's no technical issue preventing it, and there's someone with time and skill to created the functionality, then it will happen. If not then it won't. I've seen many things added to PHP and I've watched and participated in the threads on internals that have lead to many new features. This is open source, opinions matter, but personal attacks and poor argument do not really make the cut. Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP

Hmmm... he had trouble with metaphors earlier, I'm not sure he'll understand the above :) Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP

PHP has excellent support for extensions. I've written several C extensions int he past for my own personal use. Even facebook punts some stuff to C extensions that they just plug right into PHP.

But seemingly you're only interested in leveraging other peoples time and experience to further your own career, good luck with that around here. |
