PHP

I was wondering if there was a better way of doing this so I dont look like a retard on the un-anonymous internets:

include("http//www.instructables/... .$project. "");

Thanks gurus of /prog/

Functions are a bit of a mess

I daresay that's an understatement.

they are getting/got rid of them.

I've learned never to wait for a language to get rid of stupidness. Take a look how long they've been working on Perl6 or Ruby2. It's been years.

Overall, I think we see mostly eye-to-eye. But why bother with PHP at all? Use Python, Ruby, or even the beast known as Perl.
