This sort of thing is sound in compiled languages like Kotlin and C#, where this is really syntactic sugar for calling user-defined functions with object-like syntax - it's possible (and sound) *only* because these languages can resolve such calls at compile-time. In dynamic languages like JavaScript, you're literally writing to a map of methods, which means execution order is critical, and overwrites are possible - just two reasons why this feature isn't sound in languages like JavaScript, and wouldn't be in PHP either. What's wrong with just calling a function and passing the object as argument? In my opinion, this is the kind of pointless feature that brings nothing new and invites inconsistent code and bikeshedding over pointless details. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
