(I could be wrong, since I don't know where people learned programming ;)Why do you assume people learned programming? I think Rasmus has made the case for PHP to be a language that solves problems, not be academically correct, many times on this list.
Are you trying to say "it justifies to have useless settings for almost all scripts?" I hope not.No, it justifies less academically correct __overridable defaults__, which are intuitive for beginners. Let me emphasize overridable defaults again, just to make sure you get that I mean overridable defaults.
They should learn such simple thing even to be Sunday programmer. Beside, the knowledge is useful for other popular languages, C/C++, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, etc.Don't assume people ambition a career in programming, just because they use a tool, to solve a specific problem they're facing. ____________________________________________________ </MELVYN> void wakeup() {
