You´re to negative. I´m sure there are numerous advanced apps which
could benefit from *some* improvements and I do respect Kristians
involvement trying to influence PHPs development in a way PHP would
profit of. (He noticed what would make sense and why).

Hm, I´ve been to dramatic, sure. But it´s much easier to maintain (def
maintain: bug fix, exetend, transform apps) OO code in my opition.

Offering some extended functionality witht PHP4 and saying that it´s a
language which should in every part be easy to learn and the main target
audience is the vast majority of unexperienced html constructors which
should be enabled to add same dynamic functions will close the way to
PHP5 or later versions I think.
PHP could become more feature rich, regarding functions and extensions,
not more not less.
I understand Kristian, I´ve stumbled into some problems too, I could
work around but at some points only the ugly way.

Andi´s latest post was a lot more positive.
