How to get ready for PHP 8 | Sebastian Bergmann

Currently, the PHP project actively supports PHP 7.2 and PHP 7.3. The security support for PHP 7.1 ends in December 2019. Now is the time to prepare for this year’s PHP 7.4 and plan for next year’s PHP 8. Attendees of this presentation will learn everything they need to know about PHP 7.4 and how to keep up with PHP’s development so that they will not be surprised, at least not in a bad way, when PHP 7.4 and PHP 8 come out.

This recommendations are very important! The accumulated use of deprecated features creates a nightmare when you try to upgrade some systems. Lazziness is rampant in the population of many system mantainers and developpers.

If PHP ever goes strict typed it will be the end of it. This is one of the things that attracts so many people to it.

The title sounds like click-bait. The amount of useful information about PHP 8 is quite poor.

why would you ever call a function statically that's not static? parent::__construct()... that's still a need, isn't it?

Why is PHP moving more and more to a strongly typed language? Why not use languages like Java, C# then?

Imagine paying to go to a seminar and then cheering after somebody has told you that your technology of choice no longer has any stability and will be getting rewritten relentlessly, frequently and almost certainly pointlessly. THAT is how dumb the majority of web developers are.

Academicians are the wrong people to manage PHP. They generally have no clue what real developers build. This guy spent so much time explaining type stuff which is crap. Does he even know what makes PHP great? Isn't Rasmus overlooking the project anymore?
