Indeed. Depending where you'll look, you'll find big communities that have no clue about or no need for type hinting/checking/casting, some communities where "strict" typing is heresy, others where "weak" typing is seen as too lax, etc... All I've read on that topic was from small communities with targeted audiences, which produce some very polarized opinions. What would be interesting to see is what people think of Derick's latest proposal allowing both the strict typechecking and the more sensible "weak typing" (which I call smartcasting because you know, it does typecast stuff and prefixing it with "smart" make it sound better IMO.) It would weed out most of the knee-jerk reactions and focus on whether it solves problems or overly complicates things or makes them confusing. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
