That's funny. I wrote a lot of PHP in the past, and I follow its development. The language appears more and more weird to me.

I don't see any real value of most of this. It looks just messier. What's the problem of writing a constructor? Especially since you can just use snippets in your editor. Same with switch cases.

Union types would be nice if typing wasn't that... unpredictable without strict types.

Maybe it's just me.

Totally agree. Changes are not bad, they're just all over the place and bring nothing valuable.
