In practice it hasn't been a problem for me in a long time (I've been doing PHP since PHP3 so I have some perspective on it).

First the documentation is fine and easily accessible, second your IDE will hint you the correct order and finally in a real world web framework situation you don't even use those functions that much anyway.

My biggest complaint would in fact be the concurrency situation, it's still not easy and relies on external libraries that feel half-hacks. I guess Elixir spoiled me in that regard.

And when enabling strict types you will get an error anyway if you have the wrong order because the types will not match.
