That's my point - "more interesting playground" does not sound like a
reason enough to mess with the type system of the language used by
millions. This sounds like a good description of a thesis project or a
academic proof-of-concept language, not something mature widely-used
language prizing simplicity should be aiming for. I completely agree
that *if* we added a ton of shiny things into PHP then there would be a
lot of interesting stuff to play with. I am saying that is not the
reason enough to actually add them.
Are too many of these incompatible shiny things, too fast, the main
reason so many PHP users are on older versions?
IMHO, yes.
