Is it just me or PHP's evolution is a bit "too little, too late" for an almost 30-years old language?
PHP is not a likable language but it's probably not going away any time soon. Its concept of "one endpoint is one script" is one of its biggest killer features that no other language has been able to deploy in such an accessible manner. Well, Perl and old-style CGI aside, of course.
That, and also the fact that it may be pretty much the only dynamic language in use today with ARC and not a GC. Funny how PHP devs are often unaware of this.
Anyway I wish the language at least evolved faster and we wouldn't wait for 8.0 to have global `const` definitions instead of the archaic `define()` for example.
