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.

    I’m keen for this community to gain some traction, hopefully it’s a bit less toxic than our reddit counterpart.

    I would love to see Generics and custom Types in PHP. Generics for obvious reasons. And Types so we don’t need to create a DTO just for type-hinting of objects. Combined with Generics, so we can have typed Arrays!

      I’m curious, does brent_gd is that bad in moderating /r/php ? Or it’s just they community is toxic there?
