I don't see any real connection between new Web technologies and changing
PHP language. Most of the new technologies are not related to any language
features. If you want to support AJAX, you don't need any change in the
syntax of the language itself - you need good extension and yes, framework
- or standard library - support, so it would be easy to implement this
technology. I have yet to see one example of new Web technology that is
not possible to implement using existing PHP syntax, especially if we talk
about PHP5 OO capabilities. While there definitely can be improvements
made to PHP (and I think, for example, packages issue is one of the areas
this might happen), changing language is much more significant step than
adding an extension and needs much more thorough thinking through.
