A major difference between the Rails world and the PHP world is that
the Rails group is moving forward fast. Even this week I looked at
Planet PHP and I see the same old discussions of PHP 4 vs PHP 5 -
geez, I really think the PHP crowd is sometimes it's own worst
enemy. Even Perl seems to be on a more progressive track. Version 5
should be old news, the planet discussion should really be on PHP 6
or even 7.
I completely agree. I personally think that the slow adoption rate is
unacceptable. I think people are just being lazy. PHP five was
released in 2004 and will no longer be supported at the end of this
year. People need to pony and and just update their code. It's really
frustrating, personally.

That's funny. I've always considered PHP a tool -- mine to use as I see
fit. I'll use whichever software and version that fits my needs the
best. If I have a bunch of code written in PHP4 that's not PHP5
compatible, and isn't changing much, PHP4 is probably the better fit.
*shrugs* Most of what I code nowadays is PHP5, but I don't see how it
matters one way or the other. Am I missing something? Does it hurt the
community to have my code running a generation behind?
