Please try to refrain from personal insults.
That was not a personal insult as it was not aimed at an individual
person. I was borrowing from the saying that "if you put a million
typewriters in front of a million chimpanzees they will eventually
produce the works of Shakespeare"
Regardless of the exact definition of "insult", you are repeatedly
questioning people's competence, professionalism, and intelligence; this
is not a productive approach to a debate. So again, I would invite you -
and others on this thread - to step back and put the emotion to one side.
Clearly, there is a difference of opinion, and that difference probably
isn't going to go away by repeating the same points in different words,
so let's try to think of productive ways forward.
You have mentioned stability as a good aim, and have given the examples
of COBOL and UNIFACE which we might learn something from; Richard has
mentioned that lack of consistency being a frequent criticism of PHP. Is
there some way we can formulate a policy, based on experience elsewhere,
of how to balance those two aims?
