Me too. My first language was PHP, I wonder what that's done to me. :) I still appreciate it, and kind of wish other languages had a "from webdevstuff import *"

Me too. My first language was PHP, I wonder what that's done to me. :) I still appreciate it, and kind of wish other languages had a "from webdevstuff import *" feature that would just bring everything I might need for the purpose of web dev into the namespace, rather than many lines of imports from sometimes obscure paths. I can't get on the hate wagon with the rest of the community. I'll avoid using it to start anything new, of course, but I'd take it over any other mainstream option. Give me Clojure or Lisp and I'll be happiest though.
