No, it's not nonsense. The things you listed in there are incremental fixes, not fundamental. http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.type-juggling.php http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.type-juggling.php How would you fix this without breaking most PHP code out there? How would you fix ==, > and < behaviour without breaking most PHP code out there? How would you fix Unicode without breaking most PHP code out there? If PHP fixed things like this, it would be a decent programming language, but it would also break a lot of things. Kinda of like what python3 did, only that it didn't have to break quite so much, since python2 was already pretty decent.
