Yeah I agree, that was one of the things I listed under "disadvantages" lol.
I guess my question is: Does this constitute a prohibitive problem, or is it something that we can stomach? I mean, if you think about it, that's really what we're talking about anyway, right? After all, when you're writing any application, you're either going to be writing it with strict typing or you're going to be writing it with dynamic typing. The only difference here is that coders with either preference will both find PHP accommodating to their style. Similarly, a somewhat weaker argument could be made that, in PHP 5, you're either coding for procedural design or for OO design (technically you could do both, but I wouldn't wanna touch that codebase with a ten foot poll lol). The only difference here is that there would be a config setting to tell the interpreter which is which. --Kris 2012/2/23 Ángel González <keis...@gmail.com> > On 23/02/12 22:59, Kris Craig wrote: > > Could you elaborate on this?
