Hi everyone,
having worked a bit with anonymous classes these days, the current
boilerplate is really high to inject some local context into them.
So big +1 from me for the target.
On the proposed syntax, I really prefer Nikita's proposal:
return new class {
> private $a = $var;
> private $b = $obj->prop;
> private $d = $obj->prop ?? 'default';
> // ...
> }

The "functional equivalent" wording in the RFC has a big drawback: it looks
like the parent constructor is overridden, which would be a really nasty
side effect. It may not be the case in the implementation, but the the RFC
needs to be clarified IMHO.
If we were to need more closure-like syntax, we may even use "use" like
this:
return new class use ($var, $obj) {
private $a = $var;
private $b = $obj->prop;
private $d = $obj->prop ?? 'default';
// ...
}
I really hope this new syntax (which ever raises the consensus) can be
ready soon :)
