Thanks for the RFC and effort,
I know it seems overkill and wrong to have two different syntaxes for the
same thing, but I really believe that's all we need to fix one of the most
hated PHP syntax bits.
Technically, no versions seems better than the other.
Personally I don't see how this fixes anything but introduces two ways
of doing the same thing.
I've never really seen people having problems with the current syntax
but I'm not saying there aren't. The same argument can be made for all
the array/str function and people having a hard time to remember which
function takes theneedle/haystack and what argument position or similar
to map/reduce/etc.
From the RFC:
> Specifically, it requires a lot of effort to write compared to normal
expressions.
This are bold words: "a lot". The problem with this argument is that
there's almost no way to properly argue for or against this. This is
like art and creativity: it's a personal choice and some like it, some not.
Choice is nice and all, but in terms of code style it just creates an
overhead (= decision to make which style to use) and I rather prefer
"one true" way of doing things unless absolute necessary.
I'm -1 on introducing a 2nd syntax without clear benefits of any kind
that I can see.
That syntax exists now for 10 years, I'd say people can and do
accommodate and there's no need for this.
thanks,
