Reading the comments is always a bad idea in social media; however, for a socially developed language like PHP, reading the comments will give you insight into the background of existing and upcoming features. Since version 5.3, PHP itself has had a social side to its curation and development. Features and deprecations are proposed, discussed, and voted on in the formal RFC ('Request For Comments') process before they can be implemented in the core language. Let’s look at some features, including up-and-coming features, through the lens of the RFC and see how we can use that new knowledge to improve the development experience of our daily dev work.
