I assume there's a language barrier issue here, since I do not know what you're talking about. Exceptions vs Errors has no bearing on the syntax used for attributes in any way. In practice, #[] has proven itself very useful. "Ugly" is a subjective question, but I find it quite readable. Rust uses the same syntax, as well, which is what inspired it. It also took many weeks of discussion and debate to arrive at this consensus. But regardless, there's now tens of thousands of lines of code in the wild that use the current syntax. Changing it now is virtually impossible, even if everyone here agreed that it should be done. So, like it or not, PHP attributes use #[] and will continue to do so. --Larry Garfield -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
