The RFC lists other languages where an equivalent is available, and we can see that it appears quite popular: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/94361/when-do-you-use-javas-override-annotation-and-why https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/2000 In those languages, it is a recommended "defensive programming" (https://ocramius.github.io/extremely-defensive-php/#/23) technique, that protects against the types of mistakes that are listed in the RFC. So one should be able to see there is interest....unless of course someone is so bad at basic human empathy, that they can't accept other people's lived experiences as valid, and will only accept something as 'good programming practice' if they have invented or experienced it themselves. But if that's the case, there's no use trying to persuade them. All you can do is point out that habit of not liking things that they haven't yet used/invented themselves, and hope that other people don't spend too much time arguing with someone who has a pattern of being unreasonable. cheers Dan Ack -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
