Anyone got tips for working with FSMs in REST and/or MVC? Very rarely do you find HTTP verbs match FSM events leading to a fudge somewhere

Missed the biggest point which is cognitive overhead. HTTP is simple to understand and it has thrived because of this. What a pain it is to get Wireshark to decode TLS traffic, which is not just cognitive overhead but debugging overhead too.

Thanks, good to learn the difference. Graves are a pain on UK keyboards though, I propose they switch!

Very strange to see it signed off with Sláinte. I never thought it used much outside of Scotland

Firefox reader mode did a stellar job on it

Well I certainly agree with the right tool for the right job. And PHP has some roles. My point was more about the article, which would, imo, put programmers off PHP with its contrariness and smugness.

What I take from is not to use PHP, which I do as it pays the bills, but why would anyone choose it for a new project baffles me. This article doesn't help it.

Wait, is this satire or not? Does it advocate people don't use frameworks?

Loved the opening paragraph though

So there is choice of course.

match returns match data, and sets the $~ variable

=== returns true or false, setting the $~ variable

=~ returns integer (position) or nil, setting $~

The newest one match? returns a boolean, not setting $~

Will this be the last release before 3? Is there a defined schedule for 3 yet? Or just "When it's done"?

Firefox reader mode. It fixes the web, and it makes me slightly sad.

Simples, market it as 1946 honey, no carbon dating after that! 70 year old honey coming at you
