Rasmus wrote PHP with the idioms of "US English" PHP developers in Britain have been grumpy about this ever since. What was he thinking? And more importantly, how do we undo this travesty? How do we developers ensure the traditions of the British Empire continue to be upheld, even in the digital age?
Drupal finally began replacing NIH with PIE. Compare Drupal's 8.x branch a year ago with it today. A year ago, we had one class of 3rd party PHP code, in an uninteresting corner of the update system. Today, it contains 3rd party code from no less than five different projects: Symfony, Doctrine, Guzzle, Assetic, and Twig. Those libraries are included via Composer, the new and ground-breaking PHP-library-management-system-that-actually-finally-works.

Drupal 8's trajectory of a first class REST server built on Symfony is very admirable. If they pull it off might even use it #symfony_live

@crell's talk makes me want to hug Drupal. Amazing how deeply they've embraced outside libs. An example for the rest of us #symfony_live

not afraid to admit I didn't have much love for Drupal... having said that, Drupal & Symfony looks like a great leap forward #symfony_live

Very nice! Does this mean, however, that the traditional hook-based workflow will get replace by an event-driven one? Or will this change be more of a end-user transparent change in core and for modules defining hooks?
the 'right way' to do this is to work with entity approach and avoid the ['und'][0] business but I never got it to work in views. i.e. code $node=menu_get_object(); $field = field_get_items('node', $node, 'field_event_artistref'); return field_view_value('node', $node, 'field_name', $field['target_id']); code. Here's a link I was following on the topic computerminds.co.uk/articles/…
