Limited by committee

Read Original

This article examines how the PHP programming language is developed by a large volunteer committee (PHP Internals) rather than a single company or vision. It discusses the challenges of 'design by committee,' including compromise and lobbying, and draws a metaphorical comparison between PHP's functional but inelegant nature and a camel.
