I think Andrea's 0.3 proposal was extremely well balanced, served everyone's needs whether they would admit it or not, and who's only failing (subjectively termed) was the use of declare(). I think declare() is fine and not nearly as ugly as some have slandered it to be, but I'm willing to read the winds and modify it for v0.4. Straw poll: 1) <?php strict; 2) <?php-strict 3) use strict; (psuedo-namespace) 3) <?php // strict (I don't actually like HHVM's style, but if you do...) 4) declare(strict=true); (As a top-level declare only) 5) declare(strict=true); (exactly as in v0.3 -- maybe you liked it) 6) your write-in vote here I'm not going to scope in union types, nullables, or falsables. We can leave that for a followup RFC, this one is contentious enough as it is. -Sara
