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

exactly. the knock-on problems you mentioned are well solved and well documented. realtime programmers using threads have to get their heads around it on their first realtime project. i don't like doing my code in c(++), or worse; having to interface between c(++) and php. i chose php because my code can stay close to simple english that way. what you're suggesting is highly intrusive in my work-style, one that you're not affected by at all. in fact if you make things more difficult for me, i have less time to release opensource code of my own.
