Re: Thank you to JetBrains (PHP 8 Announcement page)

I really like this page as well! It will definitely help improve PHP's reputation and adoption. I'd like to suggest a couple improvements, though: 1/ Match expression: The new match is similar to switch and has the following features: > (...) > *+ Match throws an UnhandledMatchError if no match is found* 2/ Nullsafe operator: Instead of null check conditions, you can now use a chain of calls with the > new nullsafe operator. > *- When the evaluation of one element in the chain fails*, the execution > of the entire chain aborts and the entire chain evaluates to null. > *+ When one element in the chain evaluates to null*, the execution of the > entire chain aborts and the entire chain evaluates to null. IMO, "fails" could imply that an unknown property, or a property that evaluates to a non-object is acceptable. Sorry if these suggestions come a bit late, now that translations have landed. — Benjamin On Fri, 27 Nov 2020 at 16:40, Sara Golemon <pollita@php.net> wrote: > I've been receiving fantastic feedback on the PHP 8.0 Announcement landing > page ( https://www.php.net/releases/8.0 ), and I just wanted to > extend a > big Thank You to all the folks at JetBrains for making this suggestion and > putting forth the work on the initial four translations (en, pt_BR, de, and > ru).
