Honestly, I'm a little sad about PHP's direction. What I enjoyed most about it was it's simplicity. It seems like at this point everyone is trying to add $everything_i_like_about_java and $everything_i_like_about_javascript etc. It's almost like this is "phpng" now. I've always dreamt of a purely procedural PHP fork, removing all the overhead for object management. Keep things as functions, arrays, and I'm even cool with type juggling. Fix the needle/haystack stuff, but basically a "scripting" layer relatively close to being on top of C, in a way. I can do a ton of amazing things without the need of OOP/objects/autoloaders and basically anything else introduced after PHP 5.x. :) - "damn kids get off my lawn!"
