Rasmus
I find it hard to believe that Rasmus would be against all advanced frameworks in PHP.
I know I don't care for frameworks like Smarty where you are just reinventing PHP (which is why I love working with Drupal's PHPTemplate engine).
However, there is so much to be gained from using a framework like Drupal and while I don't want to speak for Rasmus, I think he'd have to mainly agree.
Besides, why was he at DrupalCon if he doesn't acknowledge the strength of the Drupal framework?

Waow, it actually cuts the podcast when you want to comment on the post... and it's not really possible to pause it chile it loads to where you are.
Nice podcast, big up, continue the good work.
(What was that with the commentaries on the Hungarian language? It felt... awkward. One thing I noticed in Szeged is english speaking people barely adapt their language level/complexity to their audience. I can tell than sometimes it's needed.)
