This is ongoing in the PHP community. For those who like purity there are tons and tons of wrapper classes that hide all that stuff away.
Modern IDEs autocomplete all the functions, I'm using PHPStorm and as soon as I type 'arr' it shows me a list of all the array functions with parameters listed.
Not perfect, but if I was worried about that kind of thing I'd use Python (which I love) or RoR (which I also love).
The ethos of PHP is to just get stuff done: http://axonflux.com/5-quotes-by-the-creator-of-php-rasmus-lerdorf http://axonflux.com/5-quotes-by-the-creator-of-php-rasmus-le...
- wtetzner 11y ago> The ethos of PHP is to just get stuff done I never understood this standpoint. I hear this from the Go community sometimes too. Wouldn't having some sane organization of functions make it easier to "just get stuff done"? Just like in Go, wouldn't generics make it easier to get stuff done?
- acomjean 11y agoPHP Developers who I've met at conferences and user groups talk about what they're building. Rarely do they seem to care that much about the language. I think many would be happy in many languages, its about being able to build something quickly. If its not elegant, nobody cares. There are a lot of frameworks (too many frankly) and tooling that enable quick building of custom sites.
