Yes, because no other programming language has a cryptographic library as part of its standard library.
Oh, wait. What's that "System.Security.Cryptography" namespace about in .NET.

Sodium is a modern, easy-to-use software library for encryption, decryption, signatures, password hashing and more.
Oh wow, that is SO missing from .NET!

What's wrong with having a language define the syntax and rules and the libraries implement (updateable) implementations?
I see no good in this.

Ah, I had failed to realize that subtle difference -- they're adding it to the language itself!

Agreed - let's hope it's not contagious.

I don't think that's what's happening here:
"The proposal to embed Libsodium (also known as Sodium) into the PHP standard library came from Scott Arciszewski, Chief Development Officer at Paragon Initiative Enterprises, a man that has campaigned for stronger cryptography in PHP CMSes in the past."
So, they're just adding it to the standard library. Like .NET, C++, Java, and just about every other language.
Headline should read: "PHP becomes the last programming language to add modern cryptography to its core."
"If you don't fail at least 90 percent of the time, you're not aiming high enough."

Within five years there will be a headline about how PHP's encryption has had an unfixed compromising flaw since day one.

Unfortunately for space explorers looking to wet their whistle, consuming alcoholic beverages is widely prohibited by the government agencies that send them to places like the International Space Station. Oh well, I guess I didn't want to go up there anyway

Well, they can slip past it by bringing a keyboard with them. That way, they can hang out at the space bar.

Quote: “Alcohol is not permitted onboard the International Space Station for consumption,” says Daniel G Huot, spokesperson for Nasa’s Johnson Space Center. “Use of alcohol and other volatile compounds are controlled on ISS due to impacts their compounds can have on the station’s water recovery system.” Oh, I see!

Recently at Ignite Australia, Microsoft made things somewhat more official and mentioned that they have plans for the release a second featured Windows 10 update after the Creators Update. I know, let's call it, "Windows 10 3.1". People loved that version before.
Windows 10 ME is right out.

Researchers at MIT have created a power supply for small electronic devices that “sips” energy by turning devices on with packets of energy rather than a steady stream. "One sip of this will bathe the drooping spirits in delight, beyond the bliss of dreams."

so then will it be bringing less power consumption?

European Union data protection authorities continue to have privacy-related concerns about Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system, despite the company making some tweaks to privacy settings for users of the OS after criticism and concerns were raised last year. So, are we talking "another $700 million" worried, or more?

Along with the onboarding process and customer support, documentation is the “transfer layer” of knowledge for your customers. Shame about all those products Microsoft never created
|
|
|
|

Only Microsoft?
I could tell you several products of multinational companies that have even created standards where the documentation is way worst (if existent)

I didn't see an only there, did you?
From what I remember of Oracle docs, there wasn't much. Sun was better. IBM... Dunno. Shorter response: I agree with you, but "too bad all those big companies have never created a product" Didn't strike me as funny as picking on my friends in Redmond.
