I am not sure if this new syntactic sugar really improves readability. What is
the difference between the above and having something like?
function foo($x, $y){
if(validateFoo($x, $y)){}
//do something
$result = 'some value';
if(postValidateFoo($result){
return $ result;
}
}
Actually putting everything in one function seems even worse from a single
responsibility point of view. But I suppose I am missing something essential
here.
Cheers,
Robert
