Hi!
Could PHP as a language be kept "pure" by first implementing python
decorators*, then implement annotations using a purpose-built
decorator?
No, we can't have python decorators because unlike Python PHP functions
and classes aren't first-class objects. In Python, this:
@dec2
@dec1
def func(arg1, arg2, ...):
pass
means this:
def func(arg1, arg2, ...):
pass
func = dec2(dec1(func))
However, you can't write equivalent code in PHP.
