If the above is the only reason to quit PHP I would advise against doing it. This is a rather small issue, you could switch to other languages and have any number of small issues. Oh, somebody monkeypatched this built-in function, should have used .equals() instead of ==, so on and so forth. There are plenty of good reasons to switch to a different language, but in this case I would highly suggest holding out for something a little more extreme. Although as an avid PHP devloper who has chased down his fair share of coercion errors, I feel your pain.
