Hi!
I think by now, whatever you think on strict typing/typehints, it is
clear to everybody that there's no consensus about this feature, and
with Rasmus, Zeev & Andi, along with many others, being against it, as
of now it can not be a part of an official PHP release.
On the other hand, we have tons of cool features in trunk which aren't
controversial and that we do want people to try out.
So I'd propose doing the following:
1. Moving parameter typing to a feature branch (by branching current
trunk and then rolling back the typing part in the trunk).
2. Starting 5.4 alpha process after that basing on trunk.
Any objections to this?
People that like the typing can still have them in the branch (and they
can keep the branch as current as they want) and if we ever See The
Light (TM) and want typed scalar parameters back, they're only a merge
away.
What do you think?
Coming from a PHP user, +1. I would like to see annual releases with the
new features. However, I think the typehint debate should be put to
rest. Have a vote and be done with it...
