To replace current PHP way of handling parameters is for sure a long-term goal, just imagine the BC break... To introduce out/inout parameters without phasing out references is probably a shorter goal to accomplish. r//Björn LOn 29 Jul 2019, at 22:34, Rowan Collins <rowan.collins@gmail.com> wrote: I guess what I had in mind was that *in the long-term*, out/inout parameters would replace & parameters,Excuse my ignorance (presumably about the complexity involved) if this is obvious, but if out/inout parameters are considered to be a better solution for the problem references generally solve (I don’t doubt that they are, even as a user of references), why is that inherently a “long term” goal? Is it not a feasible goal for next years release? Cheers Stephen
