回复: [PHP-DEV] Replace ugly attribute toke n #[] to other

but still ugly writing, now recommends using exceptions instead of errors, so should be deprecated error control now PHP already uses a lot of combine marks (more than 30), All marks on the keyboard are already in use just as Dung-Mountain-Code Regards Chopin Xiao ________________________________ 发件人: Alexandru Pătrănescu <drealecs@gmail.com> 发送时间: 2023年8月23日 16:16 收件人: chopins xiao <chopins.xiao@gmail.com> 抄送: internals@lists.php.net <internals@lists.php.net> 主题: Re: [PHP-DEV] Replace ugly attribute token #[] to other On Wed, Aug 23, 2023 at 9:36 AM chopins xiao <chopins.xiao@gmail.com<mailto:chopins.xiao@gmail.com>> wrote: I use @ instead of #[] as attribute token. attribute use whitespace marks are closed.

All I can see right now are a lot of backward incompatible changes that are unlikely to be accepted with no clear gains. Please consider them, so that there is a clear upgrade path for existing codebase. Regards, Alex
