Sorry for starting, but this is just nonsense.
First of all, today PHP is a scripting language only by
categorization, technically it is no more so than Java.
Second, performance is important for PHP. 4.0 beats lots of
competition because of its performance. We shouldn't even think of
jeopardizing that.
When I hear this kind of reasoning from people who suggest core
changes, I stop listening. Please tell me you were kidding.
