>I just don't think anyone is really interested in doing so. Most PHP users don't care much They care. They are interested. But backwards compatibility is a huge issue. PHP7 is much better, it's faster, it uses less resources, and yet you still have hosts running PHP 5.3, some even running 5.2! How do you combat a crowd like that? I don't want PHP to get stuck in IE6 mode, and I sure hope the community voices their valid criticism and takes action. |

Have they really been, PHP issues would be fixed long time ago. It had 7 major releases, and people complain about exactly the same things. All the people I know who complain about it and switch to something else say the exact same things, no matter what PHP version they've left behind. Those who do care simply go somewhere else, only those who do not or have massive codebase to support stay.
> PHP7 is much better
Lets agree to disagree on that. Its not better enough to draw any of PHP opponents to it.
> you still have hosts running PHP 5.3, some even running 5.2! How do you combat a crowd like that?
You don't. Let them be. There are people using PHP 1,2,3 and 4 somewhere out there. They may never switch. Why should it hold back the rest of the world?
> I don't want PHP to get stuck in IE6 mode
The whole PHP is its own IE6.
