Last I used Php (v4 to v8), it had type hinting, which was fine but I think its going to become harder for newcomers to approach as there stronger and stronger types, which is what made Php so special to begin with IMHO.

Your own PHP code doesn't have to use typing. It's opt in.
Glad to hear that's still the case!
