Lead PHP Developer Quits
Jasper Bryant-Greene writes "Jani Taskinen, one of the lead developers of the Zend Engine (the engine that powers PHP), as well as a lead developer for the thread safety system and other core components of the PHP project, has quit in a relatively cryptic message to the php-internals mailing list. Jani has been involved with PHP for about 6 years and his loss will undoubtedly be a big blow for the PHP project."
PHP Developer, isn't that some kind of contradiction?
PHP has absolutely nothing to do with GNU/Linux. It is a OS-independent, web-platform scripting language. You cannot compare PHP/Ruby to C/C++ and hope to sound mentally competent. But then, this would hardly be /. and not have an blathering troll running around.
IF this is legit, holy crikeys, batman!
This is one of the most unbelievably fucked up things I've ever seen on slashdot (even including Katz's earlier articles).
Israel has the right to defend itself. Frankly, they've shown incredible restraint considering they've been under attack incessantly since they were formed (now, their formation we can discuss the legality of, same with the legality of the existence of the UN in the first place...)
A predictable slashdot response. I am advising people not to waste their time. They should think about the architectural confusion they create by doing so.
an ill wind that blows no good
What Israel is doing right now has nothing at all to do with self defence. The civilians of Lebanon pose no threat what-so-ever to either Israel or it's citizens. Two Israeli soldiers were kidnapped by Hezbollah, an independent organisation that does not take orders from anybody, especially not from the Lebanese people being murdered by the hundreds right now and not from the Lebanese government.
Israel is bombing Lebanon "in order to save Israeli lives". Why are Israeli lives inherently more worth than Lebanese lives? Why should we accept that Israel is murdering innocent people just to increase it's lebensraum? And what "restraint" are you talking about? That they haven't been putting Arabs in gas chambers, yet? At this pace, they soon will!
Seriously! This is Poland 1939 all over again!
Lemon curry???
you fucking cunt. please fuck off and die. PHP will fucking rock the world. Take your small penis and go and fuck some sheep. wanker.
Ummmm...
How is bombing the shit out of your neighbor "defending yourself". Israel is the new 3rd reich. Oh the irony!!

I hold very few opinions. I hold information based on observation and fact. If you wish to disagree, please use facts.

SamTheButcher, that was a shit response that I would expect from someone who lives in their parents basement. I agree with the above, 6 years is along time, and unless its a really nice place to work/live in/be with/use, then after a while, you want something new

You forget the coders of such advanced projects, genious or not are humans too having emotions.
Some Israel supporting fanatic leaked the log, I really wonder how many days he stayed on that channel just to log some emotional response by a guy having very legit reasons for writing that crap on open channel.
Your kind of people logging the IRC channels, delibaretely missing information and wishing some great coders "doom" in the future for 7 lines of emotional text is the real reason why people believe conspiracy crap about Israel and Jews.
Perhaps some European company does not support Israel's recent actions in Lebanon will hire him with 2x the price. You will be very sad yes?
Can you give the name of the company you work for? I clearly don't want to use any fanatic hiring companies product. As Honeypot has also a meaning in intelligence community, like bots staying on IRC channels and logging whatever they can.
Out of curiosity, WHY would you do this when there are SO MANY superior languages available? I can understand using it for the web, it has great integration as far as that goes, and mod_perl is dramatically less straightfoward... But zend is just a shitty ripoff of perl, why would you use php for tasks for which it is not at all suited?
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
You're right. The correct thing to say would be that every Arab country in the middle east wants the destruction of Israel.
It is not stupid. I am neither lebanese nor muslim, nor visited Lebanon ever, but I see that Israel is a fascist state now. And Israeli people seem to support these war crimes. From now on I would avoid cooperating/dealing with any israeli company/business. This is what I call a civil resistance. I would like to avoid supporting Israel directly or indirectly. They are fascists.
