What would be interesting to see is what people think of Derick's latest proposal allowing both the strict typechecking and the more sensible "weak typing"There's nothing new about it, it's been on the table for around half a year now. Everyone who opposes strict typing on grounds that it's an alien feature to PHP(*) doesn't see any advantages in this suggestion, as everything that's bad in strict typing remains on the table. If there were only two options left on earth, strict typing and strict+auto-conversion, I'd vote for going with just strict.
