[Majestic]

Yes, I know, I can't seem to come to some final concluding decision regarding my choice of display name... ...but, I think I've found it.

 

The word is a perpetual property of itself. The word Majestic, is, Majestic. I just love that word, the way it rolls off of the tongue. It just has a real ring to it. Anyway, I'm getting waaay overhyped by a word. I really need to find more time for this place. Been busy as fuck recently - not even had time to blaze much.

Boooooooooo

Boooooooooo

Let's turn that frown upside down. I'm gonna grab that bread knife and cut the muscles that make you frown out of your face and then stitch the skin back together in such a way that you have a permanent, happy smile. Such joy and laughter... only jesting (majesting?) of course...

Very clever, I'm just boooo-ing you're thread because you kinda stomped on mine

Fair play.

PHP is fairly majestic anyway... kind of.. maybe.

No, I completely agree with everything this site says. But, there is nothing quite like it, at least nothing that is as easy to deploy. I prefer JavaScript, and wouldn't mind writing web software in JavaScript (I.E., NodeJS), but we use PHP in work so I'm stuck with it.

I don't mind the naming inconsistencies and annoying variable scope issues, but I would like to see stuff like:

 

$string = "string";

var_dump($string->length());

 

And:

 

<?php

// hopes for future:
for($i in 3 to 20) { // easier and more readable loop
	first {
		// this line will execute on the first iteration
	}
	
	alternate(2) {
		// this line will execute on every two iterations
	}
	
	alternate(2, 1) {
		// this line will execute on every two iterations starting at 1
	}
	
	alternate(3) {
		// this line will execute on every three iterations
	}
	
	last {
		// this line will execute on the last iteration
	}
}

// current:

for($i = 3; $i <= 20; $i++) {
	if($i == 3) {
		// this line will execute on the first iteration
	}
	
	if($i % 2 == 0) {
		// this line will execute on every two iterations
	}
	
	if($i % 2 == 1) {
		// this line will execute on every two iterations starting at 1
	}
	
	if($i % 3 == 0) {
		// this line will execute on every three iterations
	}
	
	if($i == 20) {
		// this line will execute on the last iteration
	}
}

// hope for the future:
for($i in 10) {
	for($n in $i) {
		if(condition) {
			break(2); // break loops to a variable depth
			// continue(2) - should be able to do the same with other keywords...
		}
	}
}

// current:

for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
	$break = false;
	for($n = 0; $n < $i; $n++) {
		if(condition) {
			$break = true;
			break;
		}
	}
	
	if($break) {
		break;
	}
}

 

Anyway, I digress...

Interesting.
