I swear the PHP developers just like to bloat PHP
It probably reads more logically to people who aren't well-versed in programming. Passing everything through functions is a lot easier to learn than getting to grips with various syntactical concepts. PHP attracts a lot of people who've never written a line of code in any other language before.
What's keeping you from doing it better then? It's not like that you can't fork your own php-done-good-this-time...
Well yes it is. There is plenty stopping me
I went through a stage were I would design documents for new languages for fun but the whole process is really depressing because I don't have the time or ability to write my own language parsers. And I usually found as the years progressed my ideas showed weakness as others devised and implemented better solutions.
And anyway despite my complaints I love PHP and the annoyances are only small.
