Well, now it does! Congratulations, you suck! Oh, wait... The chosen namespace separator is BACKSLASH?!? And this was decided by a couple of incompetent programmers over an IRC conversation? I guess I should tell you I'm sorry for insulting you and I have to agree with you: PHP sucks! I've been using PHP for quite a while now and I've been waiting to see a lot of improvements. The language has seen some improvements, but not the ones we've expected... So… you argue that PHP sucks because it doesn’t have namespaces. Well, now it does! Congratulations, you suck!

Be it BASIC, ColdFusion, PHP, or Perl.

PHP's beauty is its flexibility, that can also be a shortcoming in situations that it is ill suited.

It's the user that write the "unmaintainable" code. And as for scaling, Digg.com one of the net's biggest high traffic sites uses php as their programming language.
