Seconded ... even something like strict mode should be 'removable' to
provide a smaller faster 'classic' PHP even if it does mean there are
two builds. But we already HAVE two builds ... people who want strongly
typed and pre-compiled PHP simply use HHVM. There is no need to drag PHP
down the same road map? Each has it's own strengths.
... I am a strong typing proponent (that is a strong proponent of
explicit typing), and have never once used HHVM. Your claim, that
type-using people can just leave for HHVM, is both nonsensical and untrue.
