Yes I’m well aware of the problems. I just seems to me that being PHP-like but incompatible is much more confusing than useful.

- Shish2k 4y ago“PHP-like but incompatible” isn’t in itself a useful feature — it is the thing which unlocks a bunch of useful features (a sensible standard library, sensible list/dict datatypes, typed collections, XHP, async functions, generics)
- tambourine_man 4y agoI get that. A superset could be interesting. Downright incompatible seems to tip the balance the wrong way.
- LoganDark 4y agoPHP is a fractal of bad design[0] and creating a superset will not enable you to create a better language. [0]: https://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/ https://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/
