Hi @swader,
I had a look at the cool things The PHP League has done. I especially looked at their League\Csv package and it is indeed very nicely coded - really inspiring.
However, I noticed that it took more than 6 months of commits to take it where it is now. I honestly feel that it is unrealistic to think that any real life project will allow for that much time to develop one module, one tiny part of a project.
My point is that it will be very hard to implement such strict standards inside commercial PHP products when dealing with economics more than with standards.
What do you guys think ? Maybe I just haven’t (yet) met the right clients ?
