Rasmus Lerdorf advises Drupal community to drop PHP 4 "as soon as possible"

A very exciting proposition made in Dries Buytaert's presentation on the Future of Drupal.

Very interesting from the father of PHP. It could truly open up possibilties in accelerating Drupal development.

Drop PHP 4 and ... ? leverage OO in PHP 5 in Drupal?

I was in the back of the room, so had a hard time hearing the exact exchange (even with the mics, but I have bad hearing to begin with...), BUT, I personally thought the exchange got a bit tense for a moment or two, not necessarily in a bad way. I think it was a good mini-debate, not something that could have been easily decided at that moment, and I think a train-of-thought that needs to debated further, maybe between Rasmus and Dries in a room together. In Vegas, pay-per-view.

my 2 cents...
