If you can't understand it then you cannot tell what benefit it gives to
the greater PHP community, and if you cannot see that it provides any
benefit then you should vote it DOWN.
The 'greater PHP community' I continue to support is still only looking
for a simply life, but each iteration of PHP7 is just making things more
and more complex, which is why I STILL have not switched off PHP5 and
5.4 and earlier is still running a large percentage of sites. Just what
percentage of the wider community thinks that strict typing is giving an
essential benefit? If there was a groundswell for typing then perhaps we
would not have this continual debate on just how to jam a little more of
a move that way and get on with a version of PHP that is only typed.
Then for one can simply avoid it ...
who thinks it don't give you a benefit?
for new code it's the best you can do do get it as bugfree as possible
and fro old code you still are not forec to any typehints and for
migration you have weak types too
sorry, but discuss end of 2017 if types was a goof d idea and talk about
the 'greater community' but still run PHP5? in the meantime I have
changed *everything* written in the last 15 yeas to strict_types=1 and
type hints everywhere - you find so much potential bugs that it's worth
