I don't even get the part where he says that we need to come up with better solutions. So, if we want better solutions when are they going to arrive. It's not like that the solutions are getting baked in some oven or something.
We have new solutions that we can use. We may even call them better, but I don't think that I will quit a language just for the fun of using something new.
PHP might be st, it might even break at times, but there are some wonderful frameworks which have come up lately. Laravel is one of them and a number of developers are contributing to the code. One cannot just ignore the fact that so many people have gone mad and not even a single one of them actually felt the need to quit PHP forever and build a new language that is better than it.
