however, PHP is already a very verbose compare to other language, syntactic
improvements adds up it allows us to create much more readable code.

Did you know that you don't have to reply multiple times to the same post?
And even though Stas replies to every single post, you don't have to do it too.
Please read Andis checklist again;
