Software in 2014
"It’s a pity some people still build important apps in PHP..."Getting real tired of seeing these baseless statements from so called software professionals.Here is an off-the-top-of-my-head list of features of modern day PHP:* yield* event* pthreads - yeap, real threads.* closures (including support for $this)* consistent hashing api* "finally" added to try-catch* empty() now supports expressions, rather than only
variables.* array and string literal dereferencing* foreach support for list() - foreach($array as list($var, $var))* array_column* traits* short array syntax* namespaces* json manipulation is second to none.* runkit - all kinds of danger here
