The big question in my sick mind is whether to build a distro that uses
PHP as its primary scripting language or build a new language that's
what PHP could have been if it hadn't been mucked-about by all and
sundry who gave it functions like is_array() and isset() and when a
language doesn't even have consistent naming conventions well there ya
go. <g>

Then they stuck on some OOP functionality and OOP is what everybody
thinks is the hot item but it's clumsier than hell to have to pass
around a this-pointer and you can't slip another layer into an existing
class derivation without rewriting half the world.

Of course at the same time there's the struggle over screen i/o,
everybody and his brother wants GUI which is fine except that character
mode has its uses as well. The obvious compromise is an embedded app
that uses PHP to write pages to an internal browser rendering engine but
html has its limitations and damned if I'm wanting to get involved in
javascript.

Meanwhile back at the ranch I'm building applications based on a
character-mode abstraction that runs on top of ncurses and just
basically working my way out in both directions from there.

Everybody needs a hobby, right? <g>
