I like the idea of having anonymous classes, it is very helpful during development to just try something out without having the burden of creating a new file and a complete class including namespace and use declarations, etc. A great feature of anonymous classes in Java is their ability to access the private/protected properties of the object they are defined in, similar to what Closures do in PHP. The thing is, in Java if you access a variable (without this.), it may be of the current scope, a member of the current class or a member of the class where the anonymous class was defined in. In PHP, you have to use $this-> to access class members of the anonymous class but there is some $outer-> or similar variable missing for the access. You can as a work around pass all members by reference via the constructor, but that is really not nice. In addition, if you define an anonymous class inside a "real" class and pass another instance of the outer class, the anonymous class can still access the private/protected methods imho. Any thoughts how to handle this or should we just ignore it for now? Second thing is serialization. PHP closures can not be serialized, does the same apply for anonymous classes? It would be really nice if such anonymous classes could e.g. send via a command bus or something to be executed on another host.
