Hi! My name is George. I know that I write little wrong location for my letter, but I have a great idea for a new release of PHP.
I propose to reorient language php to object-oriented, modify the functions to support OOP layer and API procedural layer. Here is a simple example: API (procedural) OOP (object-orient) array_merge Array::merge -> array_merge(obj, []) array_count Array::count -> array_count(obj) array_shift Array::shift -> array_shift(obj) array_unshift Array::unshift -> array_unsfift(obj) str_replace String::replace -> str_replace(obj, [], []) I think it will be a revolution for PHP6, if it will be possible to specify in php.ini: php_api_functions = On; - use the old "procedural approach" in php - to support existing projects and new php. Thus, it will be possible to write code for a lightweight like the language better than Ruby, as well as to implement lazy loading of objects (initialization). That's the person I really want to see the language of PHP. Programming in php for more than 7 years. Thank you! Please, reply if that is possible. Regards, George
