Good Morning everyone, one should not forget that type hinting has some clear advantages the anti type hinting advocates always try to forget...
* the code gets smaller because not so many typechecks in every function * because the code gets smaller it is faster executed (userspace typecheck is slower than "engine-space") * without all these type checks the code gets easier to read * with type hints byte code optimizer can optimize the code far better -> faster execution * with type hints static analysing tools that check for bugs/vulnerabilities can perform far better (intra procedural analysis gives more information) Stefan Esser -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
