Well, it looks really nice indeed! Do you have any plan to make data entry less tedious? An automatic email importer maybe? Since I'm an avid traveler for 15 years or so, I have a lot of emails from my different plane and train booking

It's done. We are not native English speakers so we tend to write convoluted sentences that are difficult to parse. Thanks again.

PHP lacked the namespacing in the first place, which made the API messy and flat. Look at python (or ruby)'s standard library, it's awesome, and of high quality (most of the time, see urllib/requests for a counterexample).

In practice though, even the smallest toy project will pull out hundred tiny dependencies. This is why funny stories like leftpadgate can happen. Relying on an external dependency is a net win if and only if the time gain overcomes the loss
