PHP scalar type hinting takes a massive blow
-
So, those of you who are way into PHP may or may not know that the recent push for scalar type hinting (being able to define int, string, bool, etc not just arrays), something which exists in languages like C#, has taken a major blow. I was originally going to write up a post here about it but I thought it was too much whining for this site, so I detailed it here:

I honestly do think this is a major blow to PHP and I'm seriously wondering if I should switch to Go or just node.js. If no RFC is submitted for scalar typing in PHP 7, I'm probably going to switch languages.

I know some people starting to use Go and really liking it.
