What would be the plan to boost or change the reputation? How are you going to find P++ in Google? How are users searching for things with PHP and P++? What's the documentation going to look like for two languages that share so much? Specifically from a marketing POV splitting up the language into two makes no sense at all. Given PHP has no unified marketing message or a dedicated department it is much better to use the existing brand, with all its positive and negative perception and just keep rolling with it. A strategy to change the security or any other perception of PHP is solely a marketing, teaching and persistence issue. As you say the language is already the fastest dynamic language with the best runtime. But "starting over" with 0 brand name and perception is much harder problem than changing the existing brand, and its not at all technical challenge.

Well it looks like Reddit has already started a reputation for P++: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/cor8lv/p_a_strongtyped_php/ The discussion's about as mature as you'd expect the average Reddit thread to be. As a bonus, that link showed up near the top of Google Search results for me. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President I've got great, time saving software that you will find useful. http://cubiclesoft.com/ And once you find my software useful: http://cubiclesoft.com/donate/
