Hey folks
I am wondering if there are other developers that would share my point of view on how PHP evolves.
I started my commercial career back in PHP 5.6, then I entered the PHP7 realm, and now it's PHP8.
Do I feel like I am using a PHP8 features? No, I may like enums / strict typing / null accessors but ffs I was using typescript during 5.6 era so I don't feel it like I am juicing PHP8
Do my performance falls behind? Also no
Sometimes I feel like people going crazy about passing named arguments is changing the world... I have never seen a good use for them (and bad quality code where there is no time to implement design pattern like builder or CoR does not count)
For most if not every new features PHP is giving to us, I just see the oldschool workaround, so I stay with them.
Like an old fart dinosaur
