Hi,
I have only recently started listening in on this list and I usually
find it quite interesting. This one especially so.
But I think it's going nowhere...forgive me for saying so. I believe
that those of you, who'll have a say in this decision, have already made
their minds up and they can't come up with arguments to convince the
other party...
Maybe it'd help to summarize those arguments in a few concise words
instead of lengthy paragraphs, if that's even possible. Also it'd be
nice to know the exact goals of this new syntax, be it strict- or
autocast- types.
Goal of typed scalar function parameters:
+ Type-Safety within function (granted by both)
+ Self-documenting Code (granted by both)
+ ...
Pro strict-type-enforcing:
+ Precise Errors/Warnings
+ Prevents data-dependent errors
+ ...
Pro autocast-type-hinting:
+ Code-readability/compactness
+ Convenient
+ The PHP-way
+ ...
Feel free to add any arguments to the list...;)
Cheers
Lars
