In a new post to his blog today, John Coggeshall comments on some thoughts from Alan Knowles about a method for making PHP obsolete.

Alan, I think you were smoking way too much PHP when you wrote this post.. This in particular really surprised me to hear you say [that a module that made mysql stored procedure calls based on a URL and returned JSON could make PHP obsolete]. While I do understand the concept your explaining, I simply can't see how the model is practical at all for two big reasons.

His reasons involve not having a business case where an entire application is right there for the user to download and that its an insecure method for running an app.
