As Rasmus said, the code for annotations also needs to interface with opcode caches and other core and close-to-core technologies. This will require additional development and maint. time/manpower. This is a finite resource, there is a tradeoff between expensive new language features like annotations and other stuff which needs to be done. You can probably not have both at the same time. > Finally, I remember the lack of support for development has been a > problem... so why not call out for support to the community?, from GSoC to > PHP gurus litterate on Comp Sci and software engineering and architecture? I think this has been done before and most who stay and contribute over time have come here by their own means. -- Ralf Lang Linux Consultant / Developer
