PHP as a General-Purpose Language (Linux Journal)
<quote>...but disguised well as a purposefully simple, easy-to-learn language.</quote>
It is not disguised at such, it IS simple and easy to learn. And that's where its beauty resides and what makes it not pointless.
On the rest, I agree it's a mess. But some good projects, such as Smarty, JPGraph or ADOdb, show real work can be done using the language. (as in almost any other language, of course).
Nonetheless, I think the PHP group really needs to rethink its process (or even create one), and set specific goals and directions.
