Before it was actually written in C it was first written in Perl. And although it may be written in C and may look like C and Perl right now, it's clearly evolving into something very similar to Java. PHP has a long, long history with identity crisis, ongoing even today. Meanwhile Ruby was written as a full-on OO language from the start. The OO layer didn't get "strapped on" at version 3 like with PHP. OO was the main idea from the very start with Ruby. As a result Ruby's OO model makes PHP's OO model look like a steaming pile of shit out in the pasture. Hell, Perl's OO even makes PHP's OO look bad syntax-wise. -- Greg Donald http://destiney.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
