Absolutely not. PHP is already odd enough as it is. We should not add
additional oddness in the interest of pushing a new screw-shaped
feature in with a sledgehammer. Any additional oddity makes it harder
for Junior developers and developers coming from a different language
to learn PHP and also required the developer to learn the language
details by heart instead of being able to rely on their intuition.
Don't worry, I couldn't bring myself to seriously entertain using an
attribute instead of a keyword. I'll update the RFC to include it as a
rejected feature.
I'm already leaning towards "Don't want static classes"
Why? It is important to understand what your misgiving are in case there
anything we can do to assuage them.
Cheers,
Bilge
