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

yea right.. i really want to keep my code base in 1 language, because that simplifies everything later on imo. you people, who are against the evolotion of php towards cloud computing, would force me to do mixed-languages projects or even rewrite large sections of my codebase if as i want, i keep my codebase in 1 language. maybe now you understand why i'm so pissed off with you know-it-alls.
