I have been using PHP for years now. In general I like the coding conventions/syntax and would have to say that nothing can touch PHP's functionality (It can do any thing!)
What I would love to see though is a 100% ECMAScript port of the PHP, maintaining support for existing syntax. Wait stop, its not so crazy 😉 This could do incredible things for the PHP community. Imagine all the code and developers that would come on over. We could crush silly ASP and ColdFusion crap-o-la.
ECMA/javaScript has come a long way... It has been the standard client side language for years now and is gaining ground server side. (Netscape, ASP....) Macromedia has even adapted as a more robust replacement for Action Script in Flash.
Imagine one scripting language client, server, any platform.
HOW [IDEAS]
ECMAscript_mod: with set of js functions... implementing js object model and such.
converter ide: that parses js offline converting to common functions, objects in php.
Anyway I thought it might spark some interest... try to keep down the flames 😉 just thought it I'd throw the idea out there for discussion.
