PHP 8.5 brought us the pipe operator. PHP 8.6 will bring us the next big piece of the picture: Partial function application. Together, these seemingly minor features revolutionize how we can write and structure code.
So what does that look like? What do these new language features do, and how can they help us write better, more compact, more understandable, more testable code? Is the era of functional programming in PHP finally here?
In this session we'll review these and related functionality that are quietly ushering in revolution in how PHP can be written, and why the future looks so bright.

Larry coming in hot with yet another "if you're not staying up to date on the latest versions of PHP, here's what you're missing" talks.
Certainly code-heavy, but it's literally a talk about code, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Readability has definitely improved since previous conferences!
Good technical talk Larry! Good to see lots of code examples and learn how to use new PHP 8.6 things. It was good to start with the past to give the context of how we got here too.
