Userland API leveraging the 'php' namespace

Hello, this is my first post to this group, so I hope this is the right place. One day, I started working on an API, which I thought, would be cool to be the official php API. I was roughly adding some code together to imagine how this API will look like (nothing which would need to working for that case). I considered this as a huge playground for me. Lately I thought, this is worth sharing with others and from the early feedback, I'm not alone ;) The idea is to work on a polyfill changing the userland API with the goal to make it official when the polyfill is stable. So, I wrote some lines together and shared it at PHP-FIG first (a couple of weeks ago). Here are the goals for this project: - Standardize function calls - Wrap 'resource' types in classes - Provide php functionality in an OOP fashion - Add missing langauge features (hint collections) - Primitives as Objects - Offer more type hinting More details on the repo and the readme: https://github.com/gossi/oophp In this mailing-list I also see similar requests and also found references to what I had in mind, which I collected at the repo. For now, I'd like to hear your feedback about this and how to possibly proceed further with this. Thank you very much gossi
