When you have karma to write the RFC, you should probably include in the text why having an extra piece of capability in the language (i.e. one more thing to learn), that only saves two characters is a better DX than the current situation. In particular, as it's a slightly different meaning from the other places where no body is allowed, as Guilliam Xavier wrote in https://externals.io/message/114324#114334: > To me ; means not "empty body" (that's {}) but really "no definition, > only declaration" (or "no body, only signature", and also "no code > executed"), i.e. an abstract method (either explicitly declared so in a > class, or implicitly in an interface). It's not obvious to me that body-less methods would be 'consistent'. btw, there's a reasonable chance that whether people like the general idea or not is an aesthetic choice, and so people will either like the idea or not based on instinct rather than 'logic'. By spelling out why you think it's better, rather than assuming people will agree with that, would probably give the RFC the best chance of succeeding. cheers Dan Ack -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
