I'm not bashing anyone.
just because you don't have a use for it, it shouldn't be included?!
kinda arrogant.
Feel free to think so - I never said I don't have a use for it
(threading), I just said thread-support doesn't belong in PHP.
This is a more interesting statement since this thread started with
"douche-bag". I disagree with your assertion that it doesn't belong in
PHP, I think threading has its merits, but the kinds of problems thrown
at this thread so far don't seem particularly solved by threading. 500
requests each with 10 threads hitting the database is 5000 queries.
Threading isn't going to make a whole hell of a lot of difference versus
10 serial queries sent by the same 500 web server requests-- multi core
system or otherwise. Facebook and other popular sites get along well
with PHP. Note that Facebook created a compiler for PHP, they didn't add
support for threading. This suggests that threading is not the golden
hammer being sought in this thread.
However, threading certainly would be great for doing more desktoppy
stuff :)
