Future of PHP

• Governments, enterprises, non-profits, schools, banks, and space programs run PHP applications of every shape, size, and purpose. Many - maybe most - of us in the world of open source software are idealists. Since PHP powers large part of the web today, we can also say pragmatically that we are perfectly positioned to have the chance and perhaps the responsibility to make a difference through PHP.
