If you consider bolting on whatever feature the php developers can wrap their heads half way around, as "improving", then sure.. See this reddit comment, http://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/2zhg6z/how_true_is_this_php_bashing/cpjhx04 http://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/2zhg6z/how_true_is_this... and tell me what you think about it. When stuff like this exist, does it matter if it gets all the shiny new features and speed improvements? Not to mention that by php's development culture, these new features probably end up half baked and with it's own set of weird behaviors...
