PHP6 will be the biggest flop in history. Worse than MS Bob.

Why? Because it'll be OO... At least that's what they say. From what
I've read, the whole point of PHP6 is to make it a "real" programming
language. I hate PHP because it isn't, but let's face it, the reason PHP
is so popular in the first place is because it lets you castrate proper
programming techniques without so much as a squeal.

So if PHP5, in all its simplicity, compatibility, and non-OOP goodiness
hasn't been all that hot, who in their right mind would bet on an
OOP-ified version of PHP actually being popular with anyone?
