No. I can't see that reading in what I wrote. I'm saying that the DX for writing extensions is better in other languages. And that these days new products come along and provide extensions for other languages but not PHP. Which is a problem I can only work around by writing an extension. Or convincing them to write an extension. PHP now has FFI which provides an easier way to extend PHP. I have huge hopes for it - but in my experience it doesn't feel finished. php-vips is the biggest example of using it that I've seen. Peter
