Hello, I would love to see generics in PHP, but I have a few questions for your RFC. class Bazz<Foo : \Bar> Why did you use this syntax for forcing extending/implementation? I know this is the syntax C# uses, but it doesn't fit PHP. I think it should be "extends" or "implements", because in PHP : has a different meaning. Also, how do you specify multiple constraints? Do you have any idea how it would work internally and if there was some performance hit while using generics, and if it would also slow down existing apps that don't use generics? I hope this RFC will have positive comments, and someone who is capable of writing C will help you out with it so there's a patch for people to review - because I'm not sure if this RFC can get anywhere without a patch. :( Regards Pavel Kouril -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
