Re: Will PHP ever "grow up" and have threading?

hmm i use scripted languages because i prefer and they allow/force simple-to-read-code. but that does not mean a scripted language can't evolve to expose "complicated" code constructs like multi-threading and daemon-building in a simple manner too. i'd prefer it if a language like PHP can be used for other things besides webserving too. i also think at least some web-apps could benefit from multi-threading and daemon-building.. particularly web-apps that deal with real-time dataflows. and btw, the distinction between compiled and scripted is not a hard one anymore eh.. not with zend and that facebook php-compiler out there.
