To lighten up some discussion here, I would like to ask what features or changes you would love to see in future PHP versions? We know that in recent versions a lot of nice adjustments were added, but I bet most of us dreams for more.
I personally would love to see types on inline variables, at first even not strict. However, I don’t know if it’s remotely possible with how currently the language is implemented.
How about real threads?
There used to be some pthreads support, but it wasn’t very good.
Also some native event IO support. I tried playing around with libevent, but was not very successful with it.
