PhP6 ?!!

Php5.0.0 was just launched, and PhP6 has already begun to come up with ideas. In the latest interview with Rasmus lerdorf (the founder of PHP), we learned this surprising piece of information, although it was just an idea.

This article mentions the rapid development of PHP-"Over the years PHP has grown from a single guy, me, to now 800-900 people around the world contributing ", this makes us deeply feel that the power of open source is powerful-PHP, pear, PECL currently has a total of-people involved in development and maintenance, and a few years ago there was only Rasmus lerdorf alone. It is also said that PHP programmers around the world are between 50 thousand and 60 thousand (Unfortunately, few in China, China is the country with the highest IIS/asp usage in the Asian market, and most of the platforms are pirated, this is another topic ).

PhP6 considers replacing Zend engine II with the perl6 engine parrot, which is a fundamental replacement-just like the previous Zend engine replacing Rasmus lerdorf's engine. This may have a huge impact on the PHP market and Zend market.

The idea of PhP6 is still in the stage of internal discussion and debate. Maybe the current idea is totally overturned. We don't need to pay too much attention for the moment, just wait quietly.

Regardless of how PHP will develop, I always think that as long as a thing keeps developing and innovating, It is hopeful, even if there are setbacks or even backdrops in development. The openness of PHP allows PHP programmers around the world to share ideas, technologies, and make common progress. It also gives them powerful vitality and continuous innovation. This is exciting and proud.
