I don't wish to put words in your mouth, but it certainly sounds like your argument is essentially, "PHP was bad, therefore PHP is and will always be bad, no matter what improvements it makes." This...doesn't seem particularly reasonable? You're not required to like PHP, and you don't need a reason why things you dislike are objectively bad in order to be allowed to dislike them. |

Its hn, i think its reasonable to discuss asthetics of langauges?
But yes the history of PHP is murky and i do believe, that a few small changes could have big advantages for PHP and because PHP was one of my first languages and i also developed for it for a few years, i do have some type of connection to it.
Just imagine having a more community / sig driven approach defining a spec first, than having a reference implementation and opening it up to others.
And a PHP base rework would also help. Rethinking the architecture and code, cleaning it up and fixing issues which are still there because of it like unicode support.
