It's up to you to educate yourself. You don't have to be amazing, you just have to be willing. Uncomfortable with C? Get out of your comfort zone. If you've done PHP for more than a couple of years you have more than enough background to kick start yourself. Please don't take this as some condescending statement, take a few hours, dive in, change something small, get it working and get a sense of achievement from it. Come and join that chat on IRC or Stack Overflow, there are numerous people who _want to help_ you get better at this. Being even slightly familiar with the internals is a _huge_ advantage when it comes to discussing and voting on core language changes. I'm sure you can appreciate the difference between a vote for "ooh shiny, do want" and "crap this will break everything". Makes sense for the people voting to have some sort of understanding beyond the superficial right? -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
