Following the links, I found myself at perens.sourcelabs.com looking
over the forecasts for 2006.  The last item cuaght my eye (Trouble
ahead for PHP) not because I don't like PHP for all the things Bruce
mentions, but the fact that it's a perfect example of "if you have
trouble predicting the future, predict the past".  I still vividly
remember the horrors involved in the PHP 3-4 upgrade debacle until
they could make versions 3 and 4 play nice together.  If this article
is on track (I suspect it is), looks like yet another upgrade debacle
is in the offing for 5-6 trying to fix the security problems.

Guess Perl will start seeing more adherents (for me, it's more
flexible and more secure anyway).

Squirrelmail/HORDE folks, beware.

Ciao,
