last saturday by comparing a Java Hello World to a PHP Hello World.

Just as a side note, what's the big difference here?

PHP:
<?= "Hello World!" ?>
<?php echo "Hello World!" ?>

JSP:
<%= "Hello World!" %>
<% out.println("Hello World!") %>

PHP has it's own identity which it should never lose. However, this doesn't mean it should stick to the old trusted ways and ignore modern developments in the programming world. To keep this identity PHP needs to innovate and learn from recent innovations and programming insights. It needs to keep evolving so it can keep its lead on the web and please both beginning and experienced programmers alike.

And like Python 3, it should drop backwards compatibility in favor of innovation and cleanup in my own humble opinion :)
