The point is not to argue some kind of replacement of scheme for PHP. Or one language's superiority to another. The point is to show its possible to write functional, good looking PHP. Letting the "neat things" of LISP influence the way you

Re "and probably won't understand code written thus". Rather than giving up on the masses of "PHP coders" by labeling them incapable of functional style programming, recursion, etc, why not try to show them? If they're capable of wading thr

The use syntax is a little weird at first but it turns out to be straightforward to understand. In fact, being explicit about what is being closed over makes the function itself easier to understand. PHP, being the quirky language that it i

The third conflated point is a rant of Perl over PHP. "His language convinced him to do it wrong, and now he is pretty much stuck. And that's bad." PHP doesn't convince you to roll-your-own over use-someone-else's. The author could have jus

"Half-ass Solution" The PHP internals team could have pushed 5.3 out the door last November with :: as the separator. It was in the alpha. It worked. Except it didn't. If they had pushed it out then, knowing it broke down, that's a half-ass

Here is an example of an ambiguous case: // classes.php ///// namespace foo::bar; function baz() {} namespace foo; class bar { static function baz() {} } // someotherfile.php ///// include('classes.php'); foo::bar::baz(); // Ambiguity /////

The lust has nothing to do with the syntax and everything to do with the functionality. Namespaces are long overdue in PHP (how has it taken so long)? This is going to make developing larger scale projects (and projects that mix and match 3

From reading Odersky's book Scala's notion of currying functions i.e. f(x:Int)(y:Int) is differentiated from partially applied functions. Here is his currying example using a partially applied x(): def x(a:Int, b:Int) = a + b val y = x(1, _

PHP has its flaws, no doubt. It's little known that doccomments are a PHP language construct that can be reflected over just as Python's doc strings can be introspected with __doc__. http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.reflection.ph
