Seems never have so many users to vote... and bulk of active core developers are vote against on it. As a PHP user, I actually don't care about scalar type hinting much.. but I am strongly objecting declare thing... image of, one line setting care make a project doesn't work... image of, a larger project, some devers user strict_type, some for safe doesn't use.. then they have to add declare to every files's head... it's a nightmare.... I , here, acking you please reconsidering your vote... thanks > -- > Andrea Faulds > http://ajf.me/ > > > > > > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- Xinchen Hui @Laruence http://www.laruence.com/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
