If it's put into the language then it affects 100% of the users, but
what percentage of the user base would actually take advantage of
this feature? If it's only 1% then for the other 99% it's a complete
waste of time
how does any feature you don't use affect you?
Because the language itself becomes bloated with the capabilities it
has to offer, look for and deal with. This makes it bigger and slower
unproven claim!
It's pure common sense! You have to carry around the capability of doing
something, then have tests everywhere to see if that capability is
actually required or not at run-time.
it depends on the implementation and just beause you say so does not prove
anything and even if you need to measure, optimize and make decisions based
on technical facts - what you do is "mimimi i say"
I have worked on software which provided lots of different options, which
means that you have to keep testing if an option is being used or not. This
is an overhead whether you like it or not.
There is a big difference between adding something to the language core
which everyone has to load into memory, and having something in an
extension which is entirely optional.
or why did 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 not speaking about 7.0/7.1 *all* have
new features and where *faster* then the previous version - frankly you
are raising alarm for no reason
Can you prove that each new version was faster? Where is your evidence?
PHP 7 is faster than PHP 5 for various reasons, such as it being 64bit
instead of 32bit
WTF, only in your windows world which don't matter that much, everywhere
else x86_64 is normal for many years and each software
Excuse me! Some of the major clients who use my ERP application only use
Windows servers, so your claim that Windows does matter is completely bogus.
and improvements made to the engine itself, such as the AST. I submit
that it would be smaller and faster if it did not have to carry around so
much dross. Adding something to the core language just to save a few
keystrokes for a small number of lazy developers falls into the category
of dross
you ignored that practicaly *every* PHP version before PHP/ was faster
*and* had new features compared to the previous one
Just think how much faster and easier to maintain it would be if all this
save-a-few-keystrokes dross had not been added in the first place.
