True, but having common standards which include docblocks in not unheard of in programming ecosystems. In Java world, prescribing docblock contents - not by the language, but by the tools like maven plugins - is a common occurrence in projects. Of course, as many other things, some Java tools take it a bit overboard IMHO by doing things like failing build if you forget a dot at the end of a sentence in a comment, but that's for the tool builders and admins to decide. In Python world, there are also common tools that also check docblocks and alert on docblock contents not fitting standards. All these outside of core language, of course. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
