Another year has passed and PHP 6 is still not here…
Another year has passed and PHP 6 is still not here…
But that’s not exactly news, is the 4-th year when this long awaited version is not released. Not for nothing is called the most awaited version.
But overall it was a good year for the community, even though we still don’t have native Unicode in a stable version now we have all other awaited features in PHP 5.3, which will probably need another few years to become used on a large scale.
Even though everyone was expecting last year for Oracle to enter in full force on medium and small database market by purchasing Sun, enlarging it’s already well established portfolio on the enterprise market. It seems that it was not to be, CE is still analyzing the deal.
However MySQL is not what it used to be 5-6 years ago, when nobody dared to use it for enterprise products. This days MySQL is a product ready to be used in both small and large products that require a lot of scalability.
But back to the year that just ended, it was a full year, even with this economic crises.
