Nephtali: A simple PHP framework embracing functional programming principles

Couldn't help but notice the irony of:

Nephtali's architecture revolves around the importance of properly validating input and escaping output.

and

Sorry, there is a big string escaping bug in Nephtali 3.3.0. Please update immediately to Nephtali 3.3.1.

Isn't there some Murphy's Law of software related to making claims about security?

Nice initiative, but why try to hard to force a paradigm into a language that supports it badly?

Surely there's a better way than using $name in every structure?

I've seen many PHP frameworks, and this in anything but simple. Starting with something like Kohana requires almost no training, while this uses some really advanced PHP stuff, which means your junior and mid level programmers will spend a lot of time figuring it out and debugging silly typos.
