regarding the annotations stuff: it seems the php community (in general) really wants annotations. lots of important and widely used frameworks use them (meaning that not only the plain php users have a use for this feature, but also the users of the respective frameworks, increasing the overall user number interested). i.e: doctrine, symfony2, ding, phpunit, etc, etc. we cant just ignore this fact.
also, this means that there are tons of custom annotations implementations (almost one per framework that has a use for them), and we end up duplicating code and slowing the overall performance for applications. my question is: is php a language made for the php developers that mantain the language or for the community that uses them and contributes to it everyday? just a thought On Mon, May 9, 2011 at 1:44 PM, Rasmus Lerdorf <ras...@lerdorf.com> wrote: > On 05/09/2011 07:44 AM, guilhermebla...@gmail.com wrote: >> >> - Annotations >> >> I already proposed a patch and none here discussed.
