And in random programming language news:

Ruby has a BigDecimal error which could lead to DoS attacks. Time to hack - err I mean upgrade - all of your Rails sites.

PHP has finally broken down and added a Goto statement as of 5.3. I double checked and the commit date wasn't April 1st, so now I really have a reason to start using PHP for my web apps. I wasn't really impressed with the inconsistent syntax and so-so object implementation, but now they have "goto", they will rule the web world.

It appears that at JavaOne, despite early reports of a takeover by Scala, a Groovy book made it onto the top ten list of books sold.

re the PHP goto: Tried the "view this page in (language)" -- Makes just as much sense in Bulgarian :)

C++ has goto.

PHP is not an object oriented programming language so it makes a lot of sense.
