They had no problems with breaking the compatibility when being developed and they were better designed to start with. PHP started as a quick and dirty alternative, therefore gained respectable traction, became worse by trying to answer all needs, now it tries to be like others. Why? I don't hate PHP. I love it for what it helped create (most of the popular websites is a start). It's just isn't the best at anything anymore.

- qu4z-2 13y agoHe brought up compatibility because compatibility and novelty are often opposites.
