It was really nice to be part of a PHP-FIG meeting, very productive discussion and overview of what is happening currently. (as a joke I almost gave it 4* cause there was no drama)

I think that opening up PHPFIG out even more is a welcomed thing, I hope it will not create any negatives...

Great talk! Especially handling of the audio problems by the speaker: he was so calm that few of us in the audience tought he is not aware of the problem (and he was).

Maybe a small suggestion: for the last example (with the strings,utf8 ..), try to find a bit more exciting example: I personally found it bit distracting/uninteresting and might have lost interest somewhere in it. I still think it's a brilliant talk!

Quite deceptive title and duration (I’m not aware of it was due to speaker or organization).
Good concepts though.

It wasn't quite the talk I was expecting: very quick (30 minutes, questions time included, in an 1-hour slot) and more about pretty basic code refactoring rather than independent actual applications.
However Joop seems to be very young and yet a natural born speaker, very clear and fresh, there's a lot of potential.

As someone who still needs to get in the habit of having XDebug as an everyday tool. I really liked this look at the current state and next step for XDebug. Especially the overview of how the networking works as that’s something that always trips me up.

The insight into how exactly breakpoints with the low level operations generated from PHP was also great to see.

Very excited for the future of XDebug. And would highly recommend others join me in supporting the patreon.

Too bad for the sound issues that seemed to go unnoticed by the staff, but I guess the speaker wasn't aware.
The talk itself was in my opinion an interesting perspective on types and ValueObjects.

I agree with Francesca. Maybe a little too abstract but nice talk afterwards.

A great talk suitable both for developers and managers.
Great way to kick off the last day of this conference.

The practical approach was nice, but maybe a real-life example along with it would have helped even more to catch the benefits of all the colors usage.

Nice blast from the past of how things used to be and how the PHP community has progressed in design and architecture.

Slides could be improved. As much as you may like Haskel, the code examples should've been in PHP as it can be very disorienting for those not used to seeing other syntax and risks missing the opportunity to drive home how simple the implementation is in PHP.

Overall it was delivered with the usual passion and humour Marco always brings so it's very entertaining and engaging.
