One Minute With PHP6

First of all, this seems to be just plagarism of http://www.making-the-web.com/2007/12/09/unofficial-php-6-ch... from December of 2007, bear this in mind when considering the reputation of tuvinh.com. (Unless of course tuvinh is Brendon, which seems unlikely since Brendon said he'd be updating the list and surely he thought of something in the ensuing 14 months, or perhaps "compiled this list" is construed as "copy and pasted")

Second I think the (original) list is a useful 60 second communication. It lets me know that essentially all existing, non-trivial PHP code will break at PHP6 and need to be fixed.

Pretty shallow overview - a list of minor syntax changes mostly. Not particularly helpful, I got my hopes up thinking I'd see some analysis of new features, etc. Then again I suppose the title does say 'one minute'.

While some of the changes like dropping register_globals and introducing UNICODE support were long overdue, the others make me fear they’ll eventually end up rendering PHP a Java look-alike. The essence of PHP is simplicity and getting things done, quickly and not to kiss up to some language paradigm.

Speedy: I get an instantaneous "Error establishing a database connection"

What's the point: Can't PHP5 achieve this as smoothly or quickly?

I don't quite get the jab at "Permanently under construction" - PHP 5.3 isn't out yet: how can you complain that PHP6 is taking a long time?
