PHP 6的开发速度放慢了吗？已经开发了两年半的时间了

　　What’s slowing down development on 6 isn’t decision making:

　　放慢PHP 6的开发速度并不是决策

　　it’s finding people interested in and capable of doing unicode-oriented programming.

　　而是寻找感兴趣和有能力进行统一码编程序的人

　　It’s difficult—Unicode isn’t easy.

　　但统一码编程序不 是那么简单的

　　There’s a lot of complexity, and there's also plenty of people who don’t care that much.

　　有许多复杂因素和许多不愿考虑这些因素的人。

　　From a big-business point of view, everyone wants Unicode in there,

　　从商业角度来看，每个人都希望使用上统一码。

　　but from a day-today perspective, a lot of people don’t need Unicode because they’re building things for one locale.

　　但是从日常的角度来看，很多人并不需要统一码，因为他们构建的系统只会在一个场所使用。

　　Theoretically, everyone wants to go to UTF-8 eventually.

　　从理论上讲，每个人都希望最终使用UTF-8

　　But it’s one of those ‘I’ll get to it later’ things.

　　但这是我们后面要考虑的事情

　　It doesn’t have the same sense of urgency as many of the other features in PHP.

　　它没有PHP中其他功能那样紧迫。

　　When someone says: “I need this now,” that’s when things start moving.

　　当有人说“我现在需要这个”时，那么我们一般就会启动开发了。

　　Developers are responsible for this in their own use, their jobs, their companies, whatever. That’s not quite there in PHP 6.

　　开发人员会对此负责，用于个人或公司工作中，这并不全包含在PHP 6中。

　　It’s being pushed mostly by the larger companies, because they’re the ones that tend to need internationalization

　　许多大公司希望推广统一码，因为他们倾向于国际化。

　　Which languages particularly inspired you early on in the development of PHP?

　　在开发PHP早期哪个语言特别给了你灵感？

　　C and Perl. Those were the two languages I was using back then.

　　C语言和Perl语言。当时我正在使用这两种语言

　　Because originally I wasn’t trying to build a new language,

　　因为最初我本来没有想过要创建一种新的语言

　　I simply needed a way of using what I already knew within the confines of the web server and to solve a problem.

　　我只需要一个我在网络服务器范围内已知的方法来解决问题。

　　I didn’t need a lot of the stuff that was in Perl and I didn’t want all the memory management hassle of C,

　　我不需要Perl语言中的那么多东西，也不想像C语言那样对所有内存进行管理

　　so I needed a stripped-down version of C, that wasn’t quite Perl, that I could easily embed and was targeted at the problem.

　　因此我需要的是一个精简版的C语言，也不能很Perl,我可以很容易嵌入并挑出问题。

　　Later on, C++ and Java were languages we looked at to figure out what we needed to do in our object orientation code.

　　后来，我们研究了C++和Java，从而找出需要在我们的定向码项目中实现的目标编码，

　　But that was other people. I’ve never been a huge fan of

　　但这是其他人做的。我一直对它不是很感冒
