Hi, I agree with you, but this patch does not result in any increase in complexity - there still will be a way to declare non typed properties and most of those developers wouldn't even fell any impact complexity on development stage. My goal is not to judge which language is better but to visualize loss for the mass of developers will be the rejection of that patch. Nobody will pursuade me not that type safety is nothing significant in programming language. According to "they are not degree level software engineers" I must dissagree with you - they are less payed (their salary is 11%-15% less than other mentioned language developers) also there is less great and huge working projects/applications in the real life, most of engineering colleges learn those other mentioned languages not PHP and there is also never ending sneering war beetween PHP developers and those other mentioned.
