I'm really looking forward to this. After 10 years of programming in PHP and maintaining loads of legacy projects I've come to greatly appreciate explicit definitions and strong typing. IMHO being explicit always increases maintainability.

Agreed, better types for PHP on the backend and TypeScript on the front makes life much more pleasant.
Same here.

Using GraphQL in the PHP backend und frontend TS. The schema is exported to TS and thus everything is fully types. A blessing.

I do agree, after 20 years.
