Serious questions for all the folks worried that this is some kind of death nail for PHP.
1. Do you have code you're responsible for which uses dynamic properties so broadly that adding this attribute is a burden? 2. Do you know of real code in widespread use which uses dynamic properties so broadly that adding this attribute is a burden? All I see being bandied about are hypotheticals. So here's my answers: In my entire career (which granted, is only about half actually written IN php) I can point to exactly one class* which makes use of dynamic props and it would take me a hot minute to add the attribute and commit it to the repo (note: This code base is running on 5.x, so it doesn't need it, but it can handle the attribute all the same). I don't consider that hot minute to be problematic. For those wondering what's the point: Making the engine better is the point. We won't see the payoff in 8.2, or even 9.0, but by 10.0 we should be able to be in a better place and have a better engine out of it. -Sara * Not counting uses of stdClass which is going to implicitly have this attribute.
