I think your information there is quite dated. I can understand if you want PHP4 to die, we all do, but, to say that 'PHP should die', ignores all the benefits

I think your information there is quite dated. I can understand if you want PHP4 to die, we all do, but, to say that 'PHP should die', ignores all the benefits PHP has been bringing to the table. You only have to look towards Symfony, Laravel, and the language ever popular CMS is made in to get a better understanding of why its done. Once you know that, make some points about that please, rather than generalized statements with no backing. And, Why is Django any better? Frankly, I find python to be a terrible language to be productive in due to its syntax and lack of types. PHP has lack of types, too, but atleast the variables are marked. Also, what is wrong with that explicit construct line? Its a constructor, it says it right there.
