Oh I know who Rasmus is and without him PHP would be much worse off. But
his whole post reeks of trying to bang a square peg into a round whole
and trying to "prove" that an old dog can learn new tricks and
doesn''t
need no stinkin'' fancy frameworks. Ugh, it''s just the
"use the same tool
for everything" mentality that PHPers seem to have. I also think Rasmus
and many other PHPers throw out bones like this to the PHP community,
but they themselves don''t build businesses around it, unlike a lot of
Railers.
