I especially oppose the complexity of the current proposal. One of the reasons I prefer PHPDoc to the proposed Annotations is because they're a simple key=>value syntax. I'm already doing my coding in PHP - why do I have to code in a new sub-language when all I want is a litte bit of meta-data? My main question is: Why do we need more than key=>value? When you say that "everyone" supports annotations (if that is true), are you sure they actually want more than key=>value? Discussion of this does not seem to appear in your "Why do we need Class Metadata?" section. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
