What I feel depressing is the urge of the PHP core team to fix working features instead of focusing on the 1800 open bug tickets. On every PHP project I work on I had to find workarounds because PHP crashes. Behaviour bugs (feature not working as intented) are annoying but memory leaks and memory corruptions are just a no no no in production environnement. The only way to call PHP when its memory leaks and get corrupted is to call it via CGI which is much too slow for a production server. What I need is a very stable language on which I can rely and I'm very sad to to say PHP is getting worse and worse on that point of view versions after versions.
