Now compare it to the comments on my blog: http://schlueters.de/blog/archives/139-Scalar-type-hints-in-PHP-trunk.html Yes, my blog posting reflects my opinion and therefore is manipulative by focusing on the negative effects. Both blog postings reach their audience via the same channels so they reach more or less the same people. But well, Ilia's audience only got the positive effects, mine got only the negative effects of the patch. To really judge it you need some time to think through it and probably even play with the patch (which I did, the blog posting only shows small parts, I'd have other examples where weird things happened, but they were too complex for a simple blog post) what "nobody" commenting in blogs does. But then even if there are "many" users out there: It is still this group here which has to maintain it. And why should I maintain anything I consider stupid and wrong for free for strangers? johannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
