Definitely some JS influence plus a little Swift and Java. PHP seems to be evolving faster than it has in years
It's actually becoming a problem keeping pace with PHP major updates
class User
{
/**
* @Assert\All({
* @Assert\NotNull,
* @Assert\Length(min=5)
* })
*/
public string $name = '';
}
PHP 8.1
class User
{
#[\Assert\All(
new \Assert\NotNull,
new \Assert\Length(min: 6))
]
public string $name = '';
}Fibers "allow blocking and non-blocking implementations to share the same API" That's an interesting contrast to Python where the need to use "value = await fn()" v.s. "value = fn()" depending on whether or not that function is awaitable causes all kinds of API design complexity, all the way up to the existence of tools like https://github.com/python-trio/unasync which can code-generate the non-async version of a lib…
result = fn()
if isawaitable(result):
result = await result
What is this? class User { /** * @Assert\All({ * @Assert\NotNull, * @Assert\Length(min=5) * }) */ public string $name = ''; } PHP 8.1 class User { #[\Assert\All( new \Assert\NotNull, new \Assert\Length(min: 6)) ] public string $name = ''; }
That piece of code is about data validation.

Very similar to Java annotations.

These are attributes which add metadata that can be programatically acessed by applications and tooling. That piece of code is about data validation. See more at https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.attributes.overview.p...

It’s covered under “Attributes”.
And by things I don't mean just web development.
The current limitations I see in PHP is that there is not an official multi-core coroutines solution.
Everyone laughing at PHP hasn't tried it for years, I'd bet. It started clumsy, true, but it became a solid and quite elegant way of doing things. And by things I don't mean just web development. The current limitations I see in PHP is that there is not an official multi-core coroutines solution.
