Re: [citations for] Re: [PHP-DEV] Experiments with a threading library for Zend: spawning a new executor

Hi!

Many PHP features should be language constructs, but they were made as language hacks. __construct is evil, as like any other language hack

Constructors are standard feature in many languages. There's nothing evil in them.

class Client {

     function __construct() {
         // some code
         parent::__construct(); // as good client call the super class
         // and then more code
     }

}

Arguably, initialization is the part of the API, but I see your point - it might be useful to supply all objects with empty default ctor so that parent::__construct() always works.
