POD, the PHP preprocessor (opens in new tab)

This is a horrible idea.... I love PHP but do we really need this? I think not!

This is fucking ridiculous. If you get "distracted" by dollar signs identifying variables and semicolons on statements, you need serious amounts of medication.

It's no surprise the same mind that gets distracted by a fucking semicolon would suggest a combination of slashes pipes and +/- signs to indicate member type/visibility.

I kinda like the function litterals which are way shorter than the cumbersome "function()" default syntax
