Please refrain from turning every conversation into an excuse to jump on 
your soapbox about the direction PHP is going. Your general points have 
surely been raised and debated many times over by now, and there is no 
language change discussed in this thread for you to make specific points 
for or against.

I have no right - and no desire - to rob you of your voice, but am sure 
your energy could be better directed to more specific goals.
