I discussed the syntax for attributes further with Benjamin, Martin, and several other internals developers off-list, and with their feedback completed an RFC proposing to use the shorter @@ syntax instead of <<>> for attributes in PHP 8. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/shorter_attribute_syntax

Thanks for the write-up. I didn't feel strongly either way before but after reading the RFC I am hoping it passes. Another fringe benefit is the ability to grep for attributes, @@ does not occur anywhere in a couple projects I checked, while << does occur both as the << operator and heredocs/nowdocs. My fellow grumpy-old-non-IDE-users might find this a valid argument too :) Best, Jordi -- Jordi Boggiano @seldaek - https://seld.be
