Today I saw a big traffic increase from my PHP and ActiveRecord post. It looks like PHPDeveloper posted a link to the article and response, so I've written a response to the Arnold's wor(l)ds response post. Arnold's post is insightful, references runkit and has a good implementation of a Sortable tasklist example in PHP.

Flinn breaks it out into a few different topics - things like:

• Ruby objects are (native) Ruby objects
• a brief look at "lineage" for both PHP and Ruby
• The usefulness of Ruby mix-ins
• Issues with static inheritance in PHP
• and some of his suggestions on what PHP6 really needs
