PS - sorry to say this but from the other thread, all this talk of ecosystems is quite strange and full of FUD. The PHP eco-system depends on PHP and exists only because of PHP, not the other way round. If PHP adds a new syntax or new functions, the IDEs have to support it - it's only logical or they will lose users to another product which does support PHP properly and in a timely manner. IDE vendors provide a solution for people who need a PHP IDE so it only goes to reason surely? Given their scale and userbase I cant see Beans and Eclipse PDT ignoring new syntax any time soon nor any of the commercial IDEs like Zend Studio or phpStorm. If they managed with namespace support I don't see why this would be any different. I feel like I'm stating the obvious.
From a very narrow technical point of view it may appear obvious but it would lead to a fun paradox that a language feature "for the community" could get designed without thinking about all the users & uses. -- Email: christopher.jones@oracle.com Tel: +1 650 506 8630 Blog: http://blogs.oracle.com/opal/
