If you read php internals newsletter there is a sense amongst some of PHP core devs that PHP is "good enough", and those devs are against most innovations, and the fact that nobody knows who can vote in RFC[1] gives them an incredible power.

- Udo 13y agoI agree with that. PHP is strongest in areas where it doesn't try to imitate other languages and overload itself on features that are duplicitous or superfluous. The last feature that I really loved and anticipated was functions becoming real objects, it's one of the very few things among recent additions that I think were absolutely essential and overdue. It's also nice that FPM is now part of the default package. There are certainly a lot of areas that could be improved - for example it's incredible how they're still not cleaning up the standard library or some of the parser quirks.
