Todd either Paused for more MountainDew or had a Moment: [..]
Those last two paragraphs were total rant, and I probably[..]
have no idea what I'm talking about, but they are getting posted anyway ;0)
I would like be so totally opposed to your position if it were not for most of the dark horror of where I so totally agree with you....
But First off - COOL RANT!
p0: let us not confused science, technology and VOODOO. Computer Science is wonderful for providing a theoretical intellectual underpinning to hashing algorithms, while a specific instance of that as a technology of course is perl's 'hash' data structure, the actual 'coolness' of course lies in using it in strange and arcane ways that border on Voodoo.
bless this ref...
p1: Your complaint, amusement, at the gooder and badder of Perl's OO modality, and it's usefulness with providing 'name space management' is <phrase_here>.
return $ref_to_hash_of_function_refs ;
p2: I am very nervous that folks are noticing that at present PHP is not supportive of MVC as a design pattern - and that may be a limiting factor - but as you have also noted, given the gaggelation of globulated together 'stuff' - eg: ASP+HTML+SQL - this means that there are still great employment opportunities refactoring that stuff into maintainable code. So we should support the spread of PHP without MVC as a basis for more work refactoring the code???
return unless defined( $ref );
p3: When folks go back and review when HTTP 1.1 came out, and when further work on HTML 4.0 ceased in favor of XHTML and the quest for tokens with X in it, a part of the problem was a complete lack of any unifying standard and/or any real idea what the core technologies are/were/willbe...
die "undefined token" unless $web_service->reality_check(@cosmic_void);
p4: given that hacking in perl does not require MVC as a design pattern, but one can learn the hard way to support it....
