    This is an echo of Stroustrup argument that other nice languages have no user. Sure Java enterprise beans was whacky but saying it got no scrutiny is inaccurate. It got lot of scrutiny and criticism and that is why it moved into the direc

    I think the criticism hurled at PHP is misplaced. It serves the niche it was designed for very well. As long as you have namespaces, the include files should not be a problem for you. You can design a class loader and use that. The only thi
