Амин!

Крайно време беше, чакам тази новина вече последните две години. Надявам се приемането на PHP 6 да бъде по-бързо.

А ето и моите размисли по въпросите на Ник Халстед:

• Това не би било проблем, защото много доставчици предлагат паралелно PHP4 и PHP5.
• Рано или късно, всички ще поддържат само PHP5. Чекни Go PHP 5.
• Нови проекти с отворен код със сигурност ще бъдат само за PHP5. Все пак, това са хората, които се борят за това от две години.
  Интерни проекти и интранет апликации, обаче, може да продължат да изискват PHP4, защото в тази среда има друга инфраструктура с други дефиниции на сигурността.
• Не мисля :).

In addition to the first part of screenshots of the Slick Speed test suite I’ve been able to get my hands on a Konquerer 3.5.6 running on Kubuntu Feisty.

on Linux (kubuntu feisty)

Konquerer 3.5.6

Default install. 383KB, 1000×1190.

Prototype and mootools throw an error on every single selector. dojo on Konquerer is comparable to dojo on Firefox on Linux and is the fastest one along with ext. However the winner this time is jQuery: it throws only one error, like cssQuery, but is twice as fast.

Final Notes

Note that the jQuery team released the new 1.1.3 version just a few days back and selector speed is improved by the amazing 800% (!!!). This is one hell of improvement. I haven’t made new tests on my own, be aware. I will be just giving a calculation of the improved time, next to the measured one.

So I’ve decided to make a simple error and time count, but excluding the double Firefox 2.x install. In parenthesis is given the result without Konquerer:

• Prototype: 48 » 6326 (10 » 6312)
• jQuery: 46 » 34813(45 » 32689)
• jQuery 1.1.3, improved by 800%: 46 » 4351.625 (45 » 4086.125)
• mootools: 53 » 5156 (15 » 5150)
• ext 60 » 6925(55 » 6405)
• cssQuery 11 » 64219 (10 » 60550)
• dojo 39 » 4747(36 » 4195)

While making that count I’ve made one discovery: every library struggles with the same selectors on the different A-graded browsers. Another one interesting fact is that cssQuery offers the same browser support on all participants, even on IE5.5

There are no winners in this case study, because each library has its own uniqueness and greatness. Besides, all of them are comparably fast and offer a comparable amount of supported selectors. Now let’s go back to the real thing – coding on top of them and not comparing them!
