Yea, but no. The one thing I really liked about PHP was the way it worked. You can always reason your way from script start to finish but there were/are a lot of problems with the language. The libs have problems, I don’t like where the syntax developed, the community ...

PHP needs a way forward and it needs to bring all the software along for the ride otherwise whatever comes next is useless and that’s a hard problem but I sort of doubt that this will help fix anything.

There's a huge difference between most PHP and good PHP. Just like Perl.

That said, for most new development there's probably a better choice.

Frameworks like Laravel are the way forward. Very similar to RoR and I've been very productive with it.

PHP 5.x days are long gone.
