Sometimes on rainy nights when I've had a few too many glasses of wine, I dream of doing a PHP "reboot": something with syntax and features like C#, which I personally love, but without the sometimes deceptive magic that goes on behind the scenes of stuff on the .NET stack. Just output HTML to the browser, no compilation required, arrays like PHP, and sane and useful built-in libraries. FOSS.
Sometimes I even think it would be a good idea to half-ass it and just create a "wrapper" type library to map built-in PHP functions to namespaced and standardized (naming, parameter order, etc.) functions.
Then I usually wake up in the morning with a bad hangover and a deep sense of sadness.
