Frankly, I don't see a reason for all this doom and gloom. There are a
lot of people using PHP, and they are pretty happy with it. Of course,
languages come out of fashion, and that can happen with PHP too, but so
far it doesn't seem to happen. There of course if a lot of room for
improvement, and all of it is welcome, but I we should not move in the
direction of "PHP will die unless we do something drastic right now". I
personally feel such description regarding the state of PHP would be
just wrong.
