PHP5.0.0 just launched, PHP6 has begun to think - in the latest in the interview with Rasmus Lerdorf (PHP founder), we know this surprising information, although it is only idea.
The rapid development of PHP is mentioned in the article - "Over the year, me, to now 800-900 people around the world controling", this can't help but feel the power of open source - php At present, PEAR and PECL currently have a total of 800-900 people to participate in development and maintenance, and only Rasmus Lerdorf has been in a few years ago. It is also said that the global PHP programmer is between 50,000-60,000 (unfortunately, China is very small, China is the highest in the Asian market, and the platform is more pirated, this is another topic) .
PHP6 considers the use of Perl6's engine Parrot to replace the Zend Engine II, which is fundamentally replaced - just like the previous Zend engine replaces the Rasmus Lerdorf. This may have a huge impact on the market of PHP markets and Zend.
The idea of PHP6 is currently in the stage of internal exploration and debate, and maybe the idea is completely overthrown. We don't have to pay too much for the time being, just waiting quietly.
Regardless of the php, I always think - a thing as long as the development innovation is, it is full of hope, even if there is setbacks in development, it is even more reversed. The opening of PHP allows the global PHP programmers to share ideas, techniques, and make their own strong vitality, which can continue to make new, exclusive.
