Benchmarks of PHP 7.2 Beta: PHP Is Still Getting Faster
Honest, sincere, question here:How is programming in PHP these days? I haven't used the language since 4.x-5.2 or so. I wrote it off completely when Hack and HHVM came out due to the nuances between it and PHP proper (not to say either is bad, it was just another barrier, and set of choices I didn't care to deal with). I typically write Ruby, Elixir, and some JVM based languages these days. Any new features or language changes that make it more pleasant or any good use cases compared to my usual languages? I will add using it anywhere, while a valid use case, isn't something particularly attractive to me.Edit: just wanted to say thanks for all the good comments posted so far!
