    For those of you who don't know PHP, just wait a version or two. It already supports VB, C, C++, Javascript and Perl style coding. Version 5 is basically Java. Expect Intercal, Unlambda, and BrainF*** support by version 7 or 8. If you know a Turing-complete language, chances are you'll be able to use it to code PHP by the end of the decade.

  7. Did you test PHP5 or have a wine tasting?! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    A test run of our PHP setup on PHP5 RC1 seems to be more responsive and crisp than it was on PHP4.

    Riiight. "Crisp". Yeah, that sounds like a very analytical test run you did. Did you also notice PHP5's woody undertones and how it satisfies the spirit without weighing down the heart?

    ...why do people mod this shit up? It's NOT fucking insigtful, it's redundant. The entire parent post could be removed and no one would think anything different than if it was never posted to begin with. It's just repeating shit that was already said and is so blatantly fucking obvious to anyone who cares enough to use it.
