20 years experience in PHP? No, I believe it only ever appeared
publicly about 17 years ago.
20 years experience with developers that have problems? Yes, there's
no shortage of them.
I top you 20 years with 37 years. I was programming in Algol in 1975 ( at
Warwick university ). I'm not a programmer, I'm a hardware engineer who has to
program to make systems work. I added PHP 12 years ago to create web based
applications to augment c and Pascal based applications. Many of the concepts
being added make sense only as extensions to the core code, and don't need to be
forced into general use. Adding tools that have very specialist use should be
done as options, which we can leave out if we want to. The it needs to be
justified switching something on by default. I have no objection to 'new
facilities', but only if I can also switch them off ...
