From another comments, we established a time frame: > Is that new? I don't remember it from my php days. Although I'll freely admit those days were a long long time ago so "new" for me may actually be pretty old. So, what you are really saying is: > I chose PHP because it's gathers everything I hate about any language in one spot when I last used it... which was a least 8 years ago.
