Yes, the Second Coming Of Java that was PHP5 was where PHP lost its DIY magic.

  The magic of PHP is it’s fantastic backwards compatibility. You can still execute PHP4 spaghetti code in PHP8. As side effect it even executes faster and uses less resources for it.

    Executes faster and uses less resources for probably providing remote exploit opportunities :-))

      Name one remote exploit hole in PHP that can't just as easily be replicated in Python, Node or Ruby.

          If your spaghetti code has a good test coverage -> no problemo.

            In your experience, how much PHP4 spaghetti code still alive has good test coverage? :-)
