On: PHP doesn't need 'finally'

[blahpro]

I find it laughable that they’re arguing this from the "don’t abuse exceptions as control flow" angle considering that PHP 5.3 introduced goto.

Oh, great, another way for the rails nazies here at work to make fun of php... -_-U

PHP is like legos or loxblox, mmmkay? And I'm not saying legos aren't awesome, or that you can't build a house out of it. Absolutely you can.

Yeah, I know. But working on a wood statue with a humble knife should not be an excuse for the chainsaw guy to call you a dumb bastard for not be doing the statue with the chainsaw, "like proper men should do". Yes, the quoted phrase was actually heard on my office. Go figure...

( ...and I don't have anything against ruby. I'm learning rails. www.railsforzombies.com is great. In fact, my php is made on cakephp and lithium, which are pretty similar to rails... )
