kelly, I pretty much agree with you about PHP. It is useful in some ways, but once I start programming something of any real size, I start to miss simple things like how the compiler is forced to check the syntax of all code, whereas an interpreted language can let you write some invalid code in if statement, and you may miss it until it runs.

As for operator overloading in C++, that's a bit like saying you won't use C because it has some bloated feature like printf() instead of write(). :-) You don't have to use operator overloading, but it sure is handy when it makes sense to use, such as when creating fundamental types like money values or complex numbers.
