One last change that I didn't see yesterday as it was on Github and not
this list is the addition of another syntax proposal @{} with the same
benefits as @[], a little more snowflake than compared to other languages,
but without the BC Break.
I mentioned the benefits of @{} in an email to this list on Monday, with
the proposal to have both @@ and @{} as attribute syntax, so both camps
could have their syntax (one with delimiters, one without) with minimal
BC breaks, and leave the decision to the PHP developers/projects what
they prefer in what circumstances, because there can be valid reasons to
use both - I probably would use both. @{} could be good to define
multiple attributes for classes/properties, @@ could be good for short
attributes or ones very entrenched within the code, like function
parameters. The @{} syntax could be amended in the future, so this would
also be "future-proof".
But I guess the division about syntax is too big at this point to
consider an approach where we just offer both types of syntax. From a
PHP developer viewpoint, it would be preferable though.
