I discussed the syntax for attributes further with Benjamin, Martin, and several other internals developers off-list, and with their feedback completed an RFC proposing to use the shorter `@@` syntax instead of `<<>>` for attributes in PHP 8. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/shorter_attribute_syntax
Thanks for the write-up. I didn't feel strongly either way before but after reading the RFC I am hoping it passes.
Another fringe benefit is the ability to grep for attributes, @@ does not occur anywhere in a couple projects I checked, while << does occur both as the << operator and heredocs/nowdocs. My fellow grumpy-old-non-IDE-users might find this a valid argument too :)
