> I understand why PHP started to add support for type annotations as the hype around type annotations (Dart, Flow and Typescript) still was quite strong a few years ago. PHP started added type hinting (aka specifying types for function arguments) in 5.0.0, back in 2004. Dartlang didn't exist until 2011, TypeScript until 2012, and Flow (I assume you mean the FB tool) didn't exist until 2014, as best I can tell. >By now I think it is quite obvious that type annotations aren’t as helpful as initially expected My only take away from this is that you obviously haven't used PHP's type system. |
