The original poster may mean that PHP use C syntax like { } etc.

Regarding namespace syntax in PHP. Can you not make your own definition to go around the problem?

Personally I should like to see a thighter integration between PHP and C++. Embarcadero, the new owner of Delphi and C++Builder may do that since Delphi is very integrated with PHP as far as I can see.

My favourite combination in 2009:

JavaScript for client side scripting.

PHP for server side scripting.

C / C++ for compiled code.
