I don't see any real connection between new Web technologies and changing PHP language. Most of the new technologies are not related to any language features. If you want to support AJAX, you don't need any change in the syntax of the language itself - you need good extension and yes, framework - or standard library - support, so it would be easy to implement this technology. I have yet to see one example of new Web technology that is not possible to implement using existing PHP syntax, especially if we talk about PHP5 OO capabilities. While there definitely can be improvements made to PHP (and I think, for example, packages issue is one of the areas this might happen), changing language is much more significant step than adding an extension and needs much more thorough thinking through. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zend.com/ +972-3-6139665 ext.115 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
