I think that someone reimplementing PHP and cleaning up a lot of it's . . . quirks . . . could be a very good thing for the web. Someone who didn't care about maintaining backwards compatibility with code that relies on those . . . <i>quirks</i> . . . and who did care about language design, and clean implementation.<p>Unfortunately, I have this sinking feeling that <i>this</i> is not going to be <i>that</i>.
