Comment Rasmus is backpeddling (Score 0) 527
If you want to see where Rasmus really stands, ask him how he feels about the idea of PHP ever supporting connection pooling as I did when he came to Portland. He got very anxious, irritated and flush in the face as he spouted off lots or fantasy scenarios that made no sense whatsoever.
I said, all the bigger full featured RDBM's were built on the concept and it is fundamentally accepted as the way to scale out. Again he went off, getting more and more irritated.
Just like the importance of supporting Unicode natively, and dozens of other things in PHP, connection pooling will be a distant after thought that will come a day late and a dollar short. My prediction is PHP10.
