No, we didn’t. But the statement “zero controversy” implies that, well… let’s look up what controversy means: > argument that involves many people who strongly disagree about something : > strong disagreement about something among a large group of people (Merriam-Webster) So, controversy is where a lot of people disagree - and there were numerous people in the original thread who disagreed with the RFC and preferred strict types. I actually tallied them in a reply to Zeev (which I later quoted in a reply to Andi). There were almost as many people against the proposal as in favour. This is to say nothing as to how it was received outside internals which, from my experience on reddit, Twitter and StackOverflow, was even less positive than internals, considerably so. So, I think that to say that there was “zero controversy” is certainly stretching the truth. Really, I’m yet to see any scalar type hinting discussions which haven’t had some controversy. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
