Do many here use the SPL library?
I could never really understand this "library", on one side part
of the Java
programming that I really felt to be a burden of added / bloated
code was
the idea of the "Iterator" (you always had to grab one) and that
is pretty
much what the SPL is (for PHP5), and part of the joy to PHP was
the ease +
use of a foreach loop and then Java took a step back and
implemented the
same foreach idea in current JVMs but I barely see it used in many
projects.
I would guess that Java people coming to PHP would understand
it's uses /
design pattern better
I did Java for many years. Now I do mostly C. But at the moment I've
been digging around inside Zend Framework. So I think I can add a few
opinions about this topic.
