Be honest, do you still use reddit? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I used to check reddit everyday, some days I'd spend hours browsing. I think I've checked it twice since Apollo went down?

Yeah it opens a whole new world of possibilities for what we could add to the DX of the language.

AFAIK he's currently working on the language tools for IDE support, which will help a lot in adoption.

I'm wondering what people's thoughts on this project are?

I've had my eye on it for a while and it seems like it'll be to PHP what Typescript is to JS. Which is exiting if we can't get native support for some of these features.

I'm keen for this community to gain some traction, hopefully it's a bit less toxic than our reddit counterpart.

I would love to see Generics and custom Types in PHP. Generics for obvious reasons. And Types so we don't need to create a DTO just for type-hinting of objects. Combined with Generics, so we can have typed Arrays!
