Hi!
May I suggest you the following article (more of a starting point into
Ceylon actually) regarding this topic:
There was a time where PHP was considered a good beginner's language.
Now it seems we want to pivot and target category theory PhDs instead? :)
A language that is usable primarily by beginners will only be useful for
beginners. Non-beginners will shun it, or simply grow out of it and leave.
A language that is usable only by PhDs will be useful only for PhDs.
Beginners won't be able to comprehend it.
A language that is usable by both beginners and PhDs, and can scale a
user from beginner to PhD within the same language, will be used by both.
Doing that is really hard. And really awesome. And the direction PHP has
been trending in recent years is in that direction. Which is pretty
danged awesome. :-)
