What's the point? If only those who agree can talk, I'm not sure about the result... If Stas doesn't like the proposed syntax, how can he express his dislike in a sufficiently positive manner? (it's a honest candid question; I'm asking it even after receiving nice and harsh responses to my patch proposal last summer) > PHP NEEDS a vision. Rasmus' answer was about balance. I guess it's hard to strongly define what a language should be; there is no drawable line. Each step is questionable in some way, This balance is the strength of PHP, the root of its flexibility. But I totally understand your frustration.
