call for new programming language written with refactoring tools in mind
i have just read Fowler’s Refactoring book and went looking for a php refactoring tool. Its December 2009. Rephactor is close, but still no, realistic, tool for php exists.
Each language seems to have caveats with refactoring tools. Therefore, I think its time for a new OOP PHP-like language to be invented. One that is designed from “easy-refactoring backwards”.
I guess its like doing what Python did to the “personal code format preference wars” - write a new language that strictly specifies code formatting.
